Wait until they’re told that they’re private toll roads, and they’ll be paying 30 to 50 cents per mile for driving on them.

I support a $1 Trillion target with no more than $200 Billion coming from the government directly. That money can then be used to leverage state, local and private funding toward infrastructure priorities. Roads, bridges, sewers, water, electricity &, network infrastructure.
Projects should be priority based and not just block funded to states based on population. No reason California gets funding based on its population rather than Wyoming for roads, bridges etc. Very clear guidelines on how money can be spent. No funding for new Transportation administrative headquarters built with infrastructure spending for instance. No redirecting by state to boondoggles like bullet trains and massive solar and wind projects.
