there are plenty of state highways and alternative routes literally dozens of alternative ways to get anyway without using a interstate.

If your argument is you like road socialism and like driving subsidies to continue, because damn it I want to drive whenever and wherever I want for nil cost, then you ain’t a conservative. :)

Trust the free market because the free market sets you free.

Unregulated fully privatized interstates is a solution

“there are plenty of state highways and alternative routes literally dozens of alternative ways to get anyway without using a interstate.”

Try driving Cleveland to New York City without going on an Interstate...sure it’s doable, but if you’re lucky you’ll average 30 MPH.

To some of us, that is not ‘competition’ anymore than telling people who don’t like a hypothetical United Airlines monopoly that they can take a bicycle.

Please get back with us when you come up with a way to actually have ACCOUNTABILITY after handing over the roads...and there are ways...

Pure capitalism is just as bad as pure socialism.

Those that have not learned that you can’t trust anybody, including the free market, are eventually going to learn a hard lesson.

John D. Rockefeller would be very proud of you.

I played around on Google maps, plugging in two major cities that I have driven between a lot. Avoiding the interstate adds only 15% to the distance but 76% to the time. Not much of an alternative. Also, there are not literally dozens of ways to go. These cities are less than 200 miles apart.
