The NAFTA SuperHighway will be operated by a multinational consortium. Portions of the NAFTA SuperHighway will take existing highways which we have already paid for, and transfer them to the multinational consortium for profit.
The only businesses on the highway's right-of-way will be those approved by the consortium, i.e. no Mom-&-Pop restaurants.
Private property in Texas has already been taken by "emminent domain" for transfer to the private parties who will build that portion of the highway to produce their profit. It's a land grab.
Eisenhower's Interstate System is paid for and, with the exception of maintenance funding, is free to use.
More lies, the land and the highwat will belong to the state.
The Interstate system was not free and it not free today. It was and is paid for by taxes.
Exactly. And as a privately held road/property, that consortium will in fact be able to decide who can and who cannot travel upon or across the road...and it totally bisects the country.
Live in Colorado and want to drive to visit family in Florida? Better have the right papers/attitude.
Actually, not true. A great deal of the I-system, in the Northeast and Kansas, is toll roads. 50 years of collecting tolls and these roads aren't paid for? It's still a ripoff.
Your argument should instead focus on Boston's "Big Dig". Now here is a boondoggle! And after $18 Billion, the roof collapses and kills people. We don't have enough "spare" cash to pay for a "Big Dig" from Mexico to Canada!
