Your disagreement is posited on the Road and Infrastructure expenditures being unnecessary/wasteful. If that is true, I agree, let’s cut taxes and expenditures. If not true then these projects must go forward and be funded some way, all of which are ultimately by Taxpayers or Users (Who are, for the most part) one in the same.

Unfortunately, I see an INCREASED requirement for this type of expenditure, above what is already being spent. Cutting taxes that funds these requirements will only delay them, at future higher costs in terms of increased degradation and lowered efficiency of use, or require borrowing, again, at future higher costs.

When the private sector is squeezed for money, it has to find ways to produce the same level and quality of products for less. Why can't the federal government do the same? In a multi trillion $ budget, can't they find a way to cut something-anything to the tune of $9 billion?
