Allowing the marketplace to determine the value of interstate highway travel is no more inefficient than allowing it to determine the value of rail or pipeline transportation.

“Allowing the marketplace to determine the value of interstate highway travel is no more inefficient than allowing it to determine the value of rail or pipeline transportation.”

...and you saw what we had to do to break up the MONOPOLIES that formed. I’m all for a free-market, but I don’t think that it’s particularly healthy for government-protected monopolies to be allowed to price to the highest level they can get away with - which is why utilities are REGULATED.

This crap is an unregulated monopoly - called me a Socialist if you wish, but I simply have a problem with it.
