Exactly -- we
need long term, durable, and thickly constructed roadways akin to Europe. Here's the problem. We have so many roads, surface area, and infrastructure, that affording an Interstate System that lasts longer than 5-years would tax the budget.
Some states like Missouri, Ohio, Minnesota, and California have extensive transportation systems from roads, rail, and maritime operations, that the tax-base would be stressed to the point of "uncomfortable tax implementations" to maintain the infrastructure. Perhaps the Pork could be reduced and the necessities handled. Uh-oh -- Warning -- Political content.
Sigh -- at least...
