<p>[quote user="daveklepper"]</p> <p>And Privatize the Interstate Highways and I am with you. [/quote]</p> <p>The interstate highways system is infrastructure. It is not an operation. And in fact, although the federal government helps fund it, i.e. collects taxes and fees, the states oversea the building and maintenance of the roadways. </p> <p>The users pay for the interstate highways. In fact, when considering the amount of federal taxes, as well as state taxes in some instances, that are transferred for other purposes, i.e. mass transit, deficit funding, education, etc., the users appear to have more than paid for it.</p> <p>Today in many parts of the country segments of the interstate roadways are being built by private companies. Why? Because they are more efficient and effective, so say some, than the federal government.</p>
