Obummer has it backwards and everyone criticizing him also show a lack of understanding.

First, very few businesses are there because the roads and bridges are there.

It is the opposite. Roads go where people want to go. Where do they want to go? They want to go where there are jobs, factories, businesses, resort areas (which are simply businesses of another kind), financial centers, etc.

Build a big interstate out to the hinterlands and just see if it results in a NYC or ATL at the end.

Second, it is those businesses and their employees that paid the tax that built the roads.

People walked foot paths until they learned how to harness beasts of burden and build wagons. The paths got a little wider and more like roads.

The automobile brought about our present form of roads. Who would have been so rich and so foolish as to build our form of interstates 200 years ago?

If government was so wise, why did it not build those roads 200 years ago so we could invent cars? While they were at it they could have built a few jet airports as well.

obummer is a Marxist preaching Marxism and only fools fall for it.

Look to China for an example of the Obama plan... all those vacant cities, empty streets just waiting for something “good” to happen. Their ruling elite, through a Fascist/ Communist/Mafia hybrid government, push this agenda for personal gain. A “poster child” for wanna-be diktats.
