Actually highway funds are stripped at multiple points and would be a lot more effective if the criminals stripping them didn’t find other means of leeching of the driver.
The rail nazis need to admit that they’re leeches, liars, and thieves with a control fetish.
The highway funds are stripped by the workers and contractors being paid out of the fund and by the congressmen who award them the contracts.
I don’t think the highway cheerleaders are any different from the government funded railroad cheerleaders. Just choosing a different poison. Both need billion$ of government money. Both are controlled by traffic lights. Both are granted their land by politicians for political reasons.
