The majority of people in this country hate taxes. Don’t mention taxes. They don’t want any of the services that they get that make their lives so much better. I don’t make a lot of money, but feel for the most part what I’m paying for in taxes is worth it. Anyhow, I think monorails are the answer. Monorails can go up above existing roads with the least expense, and how cool would that be to be able to get a high speed ride across the country? Would we have stations with “smart cars” or “volts” for rent at each stop also? I’m all in. The U.S. is way behind the times for something like this. I think they have other ideas for funding infrastructure and crumbling roads. The 50 cents should go all in for the monorails. GM, Ford,Chrysler-get in on futuristic technology, safety and quality above stockholders! Build some awesome monorail cars, and some track modules that are easily assembled over existing roads.
