I fall to see this, outside of postal roads, as being a Federal issue.

We’ve seen, time and time again, the effeciency and costs otherwise....but THIS time will be different, no?

While we both agree that there's really no more federal money for Airport lounges and roadside rest stops, we might want to consider that a national need for interstate transportation is still necessary.  True, the original idea may have been roads for postal use, but just like the Romans, Andy Jackson went into road building big-time to fight Indians.  The state highway system (ala 'Route 66') came in right after WWI and after the second WW the U.S. interstate highways began --along wigh a design criteria of 80 mph w/ bridge clearances for fast moving nuke missiles.

That said, some day tho we might want to consider a constitutional amendment ending the USPS --unless it's a Dem president and then he can just order it shut down....

I fail to see it as a federal issue also.

When will we ever learn? We look hypocritical when are against big govt if a D is in office, but we’re somehow cool with it if it’s an R. Did we not learn anything from GWB?

You’re either SMALL government or you’re BIG government. You can’t be both.
