Do you every contemplate the amount of green gases that would be eliminated, if our nation's highways were upgraded to the point that traffic jams were erradicated.

Instead the planners instigate traffic jams as a way to pry our citizens out of cars.

Imagine if the leaders of the 50s-70s had done the same thing. We wouldn't have any freeways and our economy would have taken a massive hit.

It's time for our leaders to plan for the future, get off their soft hinde-sides and upgrade our transporation for the future. Buses and Trains will NEVER be the sole answer. Neither will negative impacting congestion affectors, the darling of the left, the diamond lane.

if our nation's highways were upgraded to the point that traffic jams were erradicated.

How exactly do you do that, though? It's not as easy as waving the magic "upgrade" wand--if you build bigger roads, then builders will put more housing and commerce along the side, and you're back where you began. This is accepted wisdom among civic authorities.
