Geez no surprise here.
A couple things to note:
-Simply spending on highway/road maintenance equates to nothing less then a regressive tax on the poor.
- A fix it only approach hardly adds mobility for anybody. For every $1 spent on road maintenance, $1.50 should be spent on new infrastructure.
-Unfortunate to say, but politics will get in the way of any attempt at a high speed rail network in the U.S. Do I hear 2 term limit for congressman.
-And for gosh sake, increase the federal gas tax while slowly transitioning to a VMT tax.
