^^ attack mode? What you spew is more humorous. I realize you hav a friend that has a trucking company and what you two do in the bunk is between you and him. You have no clue as what it takes to be a driver or a business owner for that matter. You remind me of the city kid who brags about helping his uncle during summer vacation on the his farm, OY🙄.
Our President has not finalized any infrastructure plans and it’s a wait and see.

^^Privatizing entitles like the Air-traffic controllers or large Airports will transfer the cost to those who use it, the price of travel will increase.
Personally I could careless about that aspect of trumps plans. I'm sure the Chinese would like to takeover our air control system.
One trillion "incentivized non-Federal funding" what Trump is talking about here is selling off the infrastructure, we'll have mish mosh of toll and fee for use highway system which will add congestion and expense to transportation. Trump is willing to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge...
When Trump gets to the Electrical Grid and selling off assets, just what does that mean, this plan has Enron written all over it!
Your utility rates are fairly reasonable they won't be if Trump's Enron plan is implemented.
Everything Trump is proposing will cost the middle class more while enriching a few already wealthy fat cats.
Trump is all about conning people for his own enrichment, the only lucrative source of income he hasn't managed to befuddle is section 8 housing, so he's actually made his living on welfare.
I doubt anything Trump proposes would reduce tax only add fees, this is the type of taxation Tim Payplenty implemented when he was Governor of Minnesota!

^^ privatization is the way to go, far too many union "shovel leaners" on the dole.when it comes to roads I think of Maine, they have private toll roads and I remember some of the finest roads I ever drove on.
Utilities? Again, far too many lazy union folks shining a chair seat with their ass. Our electrical grid, from what I've read, is an antiquated joke,Time for an overhaul. The best and most efficient way to do this is to tap free enterprise.
Capitalism just f%cking works.👍

The link is to tolls running from Philly to New York, it gets spendy, and causes delays..
Putting these things allover the freeway system will be a major mess... and look at the patchwork beat up road!

^^ yeah, New York is a prime example of what not to do, the George Washington bridge is a shining example. When I was driving out there it was $7.50 to cross, I don't know what it is now but I've heard around $75 for 5 axles and probably hasn't been repaired in the same time span. Antiquated, toll money goes elsewhere besides maintenance money pit.
New technology has sensors, sends a bill every month with no booths. Our metro area is a fine example with the car pool lanes.

^^ MnPASS is more about carpooling not toll roads as I remember.
and it's run by Minnesota DOT not some private entity collecting tolls.
It was an effort to cut congestion/traffic jams during peak hours.
Isn't it still single occupants pay the fee while two or more go free in the express lane?
You're probably just pointing out the electronic surveillance and billing
rather than a line at a toll booth..

Yes, if you want to run in the express lanes as a single occupant you buy a sensor and you’re billed, adopts to a toll road function very readily. They don’t allow the big trucks in there, yet.
Of course it’s run by MnDot but there is a better way, contract it out.
