Cut the DoD budget. It's over 10x that.


Yes, but "provide for the common defense" is actually a real Constitutional aim.

"Provide for the common education" is not.

I believe 3 lanes has been shown to be most efficient for highways


Agreed, but the right planning helps.

The 3 On Ramps at Williams in Kenner to I 10 East followed by Power on ramp definitely a bad design. The highway there is 3 lanes but still backs up and the merge lanes are too short or no one in LA knows how to use them.

It’s plainly obvious. But I think you have to be old enough to remember a less crowded America to realize it. There are 130 million more people here than when I was born. Probably 150 million with illegals. Almost 200 million more than when Construction on the interstates began.


yet over half of the OT thinks the solution is to leave at 1:40AM the day prior.

But we pay too much in taxes. Dickbrain just passed a massive tax cut. Oh wait, maybe the highway fairy will pay for it, like the wall.

federal revenue is more than three times what it was in just 1990. You dont suppose we have a spending problem?

moar taxes!!!!!

2 lane interstate
works fine if you know how to drive. Unfortunately, US Ameruicans never learned that the left lane is for passing only.

"I only drive in the left lane because I don't want to worry about people merging from the right."

Make it harder to get and renew your license. Up the speed limits. Problem solved.
