$1.2 BILLION on walking and biking?

Ugh. More waste from a government that is now 90% of its GDP in debt.

From the Telegraph in the UK:
The Obama administration more than doubled spending on cycling and walking initiatives to $1.2 billion (£810 million) last year as it seeks to coax Americans out of their cars.

We are now 13 TRILLION in debt. I bike everywhere. I mean, I covered about 40 miles in one day a week ago. I run about 5 miles a day, 3 days a week during the summer.
I did not need the government to help me do that.
Can we stop pretending like a $1.2 billion dollar program to get people 'out of their cars' is worth it? Please?
