We pay enough taxes. We do not need toll roads.

I don’t like the necessity of the government paying for roads and stuff, but to be honest it IS kind of important.

As long as the money allocated actually goes TO roads instead of into some lobbyist’s bank account.

Well, that's highways in the United States and not in Iraq.

I like that.

Those roads and bridges aren’t goimg to fix themselves.

When the interstate highway system was built, even taking into account increased demand, couldn’t have predicted the volume of traffic that it has to endure today.

Most of the interstate system is near its end of life, and needs to be rebuilt and upgraded.

Trump is a builder, and knows how to make this happen, on budget, and on time. So when he talks about infrastructure, people need to listen.

“We are going to fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals,â...”

You cant fix the inner cities without fixing the people who live there.

I have no problem at all with tolls and privatization to pay for highways. User fees are generally a good way to go.

There were a few articles on this before the election. It was a TOUGH CALL, Tol, but for me, preventing the country from becoming a one-party dictatorship and descending into Third World status slightly outweighed paying more tolls to drive...but not by much.

Absolutely NO to tolls.

You don’t build a road on the taxpayers dime then charge the taxpayers again for it pretty much in perpetuity.

I understand some swaths of the country have tolls for everything; its not a huge deal. We have danged few tolls aroun heah and we seem to get along just fine.

I’d go along with tolls. As long as the federal gax tax is repealed.

Media loves toll roads, especially every five feet like in Illinois. Government can handle your money better than you.
