And individual car ownership only works in those places because of the massive federal welfare they receive in the form of multi-billion-dollar federal highway grants.

The federal government spends over $1800 per person per year on roadways in Montana.

To be fair $1200 of that was to plan the potlucks and the Christmas party.
