Yes, it shows the incompetence of our public servants and agencies. My only gripe is that American companies aren't buying these roads and bridges. This is a step towards libertarianism and it should work out just fine. The roads will be operated for a profit and without political considerations.

I'm not too familiar with the libertarians. For some reason I didn't think they would go for tying up land and roadways for 70 to 90 years. Their children and grandchildren living close by these toll roads will never have a chance at democracy or liberty. Part of Perry's and the free trader's argument is that the census is growing so rapidly that in 10 years our infrastructure will be bursting at the seams. Well, we don't know what the census will be in 25 or 50 years either but rest assured that the future for your children will be tied up in a 70 year contract.

If they need a road they can just take the long way around and stay in traffic jams for hours. Cintra doesn't care about democracy for our children. As a matter of fact Cintra could if they wanted to tax those using the toll roads for the UN. What a can of worms!
