Actually, I remember reports from the "55" era that showed the lowered limit actually increased fatalities. Plus, with people being the way they are today, road rage would skyrocket.
You must never have driven between cities in the western states, otherwise you would see the folly in bringing back the double nickel.

Bringing it back federally is a problem. However, it's also a ridiculous thing to have the federal government take measures to subsidize wasteful expenditures, too. I assume that if it's not right for the federal government to mandate lower speeds, then it's not right for them to give in and open up federal lands for mineral exploitation?
