What? Those roads were already paid for by the taxpayers. Then he sells them to foreigners who then tax the very people who paid for the roads via tolls simply because they need to use them? That is hardly Conservative. Your argument is bogus.

Think of your roads as investments ~ that need regular maintenance and improvement.

They aren't free ~ you simply imagine them to be free because you are deep into the Socialist trick bag.

Finding responsible owners for roads by allowing them to charge tolls is a great idea. Just think of what GM would be today if the government had not treated it like a public utility ~ their assets would have been sold off to responsible owners who would have immediately put them to work in the best possible way. Instead, the government bailed out the unions ~ and what we have now is a part of a car company that can't sell its stuff.
