Enjoy your hobby, just don't expect me to subsidize your hobby for you. It ain't my place to front you the money. If you want to play, you ought to pay.

Based on what he's said, I believe that the current AMA president agrees with you, given that he's on record as stating that PPP should become self-supporting.
The way I see it, I "fronted" PPP about $1.50 last year, and will be glad to fork over another $1.50 for 2009 if there are some firm goals in place and plans to meet those goals. Lacking that, I don't want to "front" PPP any more than do you.
After all, it's gotta be costing me at least enough fuel for one or two 10 minute flights a year.
