My group? One that thinks Congress Persons is silly English. Fine PC for the modern University, but has no place in off-topic...

My boring theory on boring infrastructure (lets face it, it us not the subject of the week...) let the user pay!

Yes, tolls and fuel taxes and airline ticket surcharges. Let the market sort out the trucks and cars and mass transit, barges, trains, Amtrack and donkey carts. Something not being funded - well then raise the user tax. Still not being funded? Well then do away with it.. You want to pay $50 a day to use the HOV lane, I say go for it. Want to pay $1.50 and ride the bus, I say do that too!!

Good old all American choice! Just leave my payroll tax and property taxes out of it!!
