Who Will Build the Roads?

Nobody Asked But …

Isn’t it grand what a fine job the USDOT is doing, together with their little tag-along state DOTs?  I am on the road again, exercising my freedom to move about voluntarily.  And once again I wonder who will build the roads?  I am not asking who will have the existing, outmoded roads underdesigned and crumbling, or who will have them in a constant situation of repair.  The orange plastic barrel industry is going great guns!  Driving through an urban area on a Friday afternoon is more fun than being boiled in oil.  And the trucks, by the thousands — who wouldn’t want to cast one’s family’s fortunes among those behemoths?  So!  Who will build the roads?  The military-logistics-automotive-petroleum-construction-tourism-contraband-government-industrial complex.
