Private-Public Spaces

[John Galt]

eh. i just prefer indiana's toll system which is private (enter and get ticket, leave and pay for the whole trip) to f**k chicago's union work-program (35 cents every half mile or whatever horseshit)

also for your claim that they are not privatized "anywhere", the overwhelming majority of highways in france and italy are private; my exwife worked as a lobbyist for autostrade based in italy, which has most of the toll roads in the country under its control. it's common in europe and asia

It takes a real conservative to argue that selling a road to a private corporation so that they can make money for 99 years off it is a good idea, after you just spent over $100 billion in taxpayer dollars acquiring the land and actually building the thing. No surprise, it was a conservative who made the decision to privatize it.

Conservatives need to stay away from government finance. In fact, conservatives need to stay away from governance in general.

If everything already taxed for the roads would actually go to the roads, the roads would be fine. But it don't, so they ain't.
