Not nearly apace-enough, based on the amount of time US-ians
waste in traffic! (Whichever candidate prioritizes highway
expansion henceforth gets my vote).


You might want to rethink that. In general many "highway expansion"
projects only serve to increase congestion. Why? Mostly socialogical. Now
that there's a nifty new way to get from point A to B, more people want to
go from Point A to B.

I keep telling people who oppose using 1 penny from the gas tax for mass
transit/Amtrak that they should support it. The more people they can get
off the roads the more fun driving becomes again.
