There aren't any American companies responsible enough to run a toll road? Most of the money collected from these tolls will not be spent in America. Where's the logic?

Most of the money will be spent in the US. Most of the engineers will be in the US. I bet all the concrete will come from Texas and states bordering Texas. As far as steel content is concerned, I really don't give a damned about subsidizing lazy unionized steel workers in US steel plants. I think US steel companies should have to compete on the basis of price and quality just as any other company in the world does. If US companies can match the quality and costs of foreign steel producers, they won't have any trouble getting contracts for TTC projects.
