Yeah! What do these private investors think they're doing? Everyone knows that only the government can do things right.

This is not about SS or Gov. it's about the land.

I'll put up the Interstate system against against the hodgepodge of freeways and toll roads that preceded it. Our government does not have a very good track record on big projects, but it has done some things right.

Also keep in mind that this company is not exactly the Peace Corps - meaning that they do have their own agenda - which is profits (generally a good thing, but not in this case). They couldn't give a darn about the people of Texas

How to earn the profits: Become a monopoly and minimize your competition. That's done by closing off alternatives that can draw traffic away from them. I have no doubt once the fine print of this agreement is released (with those pesky details), we'll see that Perry totally sold out his voters.
