Terminate the federal highway program and transfer existing funding mechanisms and responsibilities to the states.

The federal highway program was created in 1956 to build the interstate highway system, an objective that was met in the early 1980s. Absent a clear objective in the years since then, the highway program has become just another spending program, and the motorists who pay the federal fuel taxes that fund the system suffer accordingly as roads become crowded and poorly maintained. With the interstate completed and with today’s most pressing traffic problems regional and/or local in nature, a centralized, one-sizefits- all program run by Washington bureaucrats is no longer appropriate or effective.

Maybe Interstates should be improved only by the states, but I doubt it. What I'm more interested in here, is this:

Doesn’t Mitt Romney have a thorough explanation of these things? (And not “the courts made me do it,” where that is not true.) We need to see it.

- Executive order forcing justices of the peace to perform homosexual “marriages?”

- “Party A,” do you agree to marry “Party B?”

- Appointed a “Homosexual Bar” member and other extreme leftists to the bench; more Democrats than Republicans?

- Signed taxpayer funded abortion on demand as a part of Massachusetts’ statist healthcare package?

- Forced even Catholic hospitals to distribute the “morning after” abortion/hemorrhage pill?
