Quote:Toll roads, really? Why would any one want to live in a city where you pay every time you have to drive somewhere?


How is that freedom?

 

lol you already pay every time you drive somewhere. Last time around the US spent 46 BILLION on infrastructure in one single stimulus bill, that's 46 BILLION added to what they're already spending on infrastructure. Let see if you just go by the population of 309.6 million in 2009 that's $143.63 per person or for the average family of (4) $576.46 per family in one bill.

 

Let's stick with 2009 for example, in addition to the stimulus bill our infrastructure budge for 2009 was 23 Billion, so now lets add another $74.24 per person or the average family of (4) $296.96.

 

So in short your "free roads" actually cost you for the year of 2009 ALONE $217.87 per person or $873.42 per average family.
