I just think there's something suspicious about selling it under 'what we need' vs. 'what they want.'

Do you really think the Chinese want to ship goods from Mexico to Canada via the US for some nefarious cost-saving reason? Fuel is expensive. Trucks aren't cheap either, even if somebody else builds the highway.

And I'm all for expanding Rte. 35.

And I'll get my kicks on Rte. 69!

I believe that about sums it up. Having traveled I-75 from Michigan's upper peninsula to mid-Florida, I can easily see several places more needing of a superhighway than the barren mid-section of this country.

Cities like Atlanta & Knoxville present enormous bottlenecks to the free movement of traffic. And, I'm certain that there are hundreds of similar bottlenecks around every major city in the country. These are the areas that need major road work.

As an alternative, to alleviate a good deal of the traffic problems in many major cities, we can not only quit importing illegals into our population, but also get rid of the ones that are here. It's obvious that there are too many cars and not enough roadway in most cities.
