“Willie’s just lettin’ off steam. He’s never seen private investment in infrastructure that he didn’t hate.”

Well some of us have a BIG PROBLEM when a private company is given a MONOPOLY and protected by competition by the FORCE OF LAW. It’s no different than electric and phone utilities (until recently), except people back then had ENOUGH BRAINS to regulate what they charge.

The extent to which a toll road built and maintained without the exaction of taxes (and now privately operated) holds a "monopoly" over the general tax supported highway system is a testament to the advantage of private investment in infrastructure.

As an aside TYPING IN CAPITAL LETTERS DOESN'T MAKE A POST SEEM ANY SMARTER.
