Yes, that's the problem we need to stop. Many states allow some roads
to be built, maintained, and owned by private companies.


Yes, the term for them is "Toll Road".

Since they are private, they don't have to adhere to current standards.

Locally, we just managed to get rid of one of those pieces of crap and
get it under state owenership.


I guess you don't like anything unless you are paying more for it with
the gov't running it. Maybe they'll start making McD's for you. You
can get a $20 Big Mac and feel better about it because it certified by
the US gov't. Think about the line at DMV, that will be the line for
your Big Mac.


Bunch of babbling, irrelevant, nonsense.

Public roads are built and maintained at cost.

Private roads need to show an ROI on the capital construction cost,
plus return a profit higher than the maintenance costs.

In addition, you still get to pay the taxes.
