The best life lesson on capitalism is the just-passed energy bill. What did Alaska get? A billion? Maybe it's just a coincidence that the head of the Transportation Committee was from Alaska...

Meantime, So Cal's 405, the most congested freeway in the U.S., gets about 20% of the cost of necessary expansion. Much more money goes to Bakersfield for a "beltway."

Capitalism buys political power, which redistributes wealth to those who can wield the power to get it.
