There is no need to spend a single cent on upgrading infrastructure. Our transportation system was originally built with private capital. I’m no financial wizard, but why not let private industry build roads, bridges and railroads and allow them to collect tolls. Build power plants and charge rent. We still collect taxes on their profits. Sunset the charges so that we don’t pay forever.
What a ####ing waste of great ideas people come up with on here.
I’ve read at least 3 or 4 really good ones the past few days alone.
Sunset the charges...that’s great. I’ve never heard of the term before.
BUT the Verrazano bridge toll was supposed to be sunsetted (is that a word :)) after the bridge was paid OFF!!!!
That was 40 years ago and the toll is SIXTEEN DOLLARS!! YES SIXTEEN DOLLARS!!!! Staten Islanders get a discount.
Someone’s gotta pay for obama’s sons in the bronx
