[In veno, veritas]

My guess is that some people want the government to subsidize travel by automobile, and so celebrate the end of road privatization. There could be a number of other things in this that aren’t clearly stated, like maybe property rights issues or not reducing taxes already designated for roads. Not very clear, though.

The main problem with any government-privitization idea is that privitization ends up costing taxpayers more money...in the long run.

Whenever something is privitized, the company, business, or organization involved has to make money in order to stay in business. They have to bring in more revenue than a government entity would....thus when its government funds for privitization...taxpayers end up paying more in tax dollars.

If having private toll roads is such a good idea....then let those who want it done to do so without government funds. It never happens

Well toll roads are coming to my state, NC, it seems - but so far it has not been passed in our Legislature, thank God!
