[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

If the private sector can do it, why should the government get involved?

Because roads and other related infrastructure are for the greater public. Do you want to pay tolls every few miles or see the names of streets get replaced with more untypical and profane ones? See a bunch of NIMBY types protest roads in their area?

[In veno, veritas]

Using the “greater public” argument is what got our banks and automobile manufacturers nationalized. Tolls work very effectively and technology has allowed cars to continue without stopping and make people pay proportionally to their use (economic efficiency). The street names thing seems a little odd, especially since people can do that on their own private roads now. As far as the NIMBY types, they exist now because what the government has done through eminent domain (abuse). Yet somehow, the Great Northern Railroad was built without issue (like many roads).
