If the full 1.2T were actually on roads, we would have much nicer roads. Quite a bit of it goes to not-car spending.

- dkhenry 5y agoIf that specific bill was the only debt we were printing to subsidize car dependence it would be bad enough, however the majority of spending is done by municipalities which sits currently at 4T and its estimated we need to add 6T to that over the next 10 years to keep up with repairs. After we have spent that 10T we will then have to repair all the roads built in the past 20 years which is growing at about 500,000 miles of roads per decade.
