I just sent a 40 pound box clear across the country UPS ground for less than $30. Say what you want about the bailouts or makeworks but our interstate roads are a freakin' national treasure. I'm sure its possible to spend too much on roads but I don't think we've ever come even close. (I also think that while people are a bit more relaxed about owning that bit of "investment property" that they may one day build a house on and retire, it might be a fantastic time to greatly expand our railway lines.)
