The highways didn't build themselves either, you know.

  And they're also shit compared to other countries due to poor maintenance.

    Highways are shit? I'm from Europe, but have drove lots in the US, and the US interstate system is one of the best in the world. Definitely not "shit". What do you compare it to? The Auto-bahn in Germany? That's like 1/100 the length. Heck, even Route 66 is mighty fine compared to other places, and that's not even officially supported anymore, nor the main road.

      All I know is that weeks after the 2011 earthquake/tsunami in Japan, a section of major highway that was destroyed was completely rebuilt and supporting full vehicular traffic. Meanwhile back in Connecticut, the construction on I-84 never, EVER seems to finish and there's always jams and slowdowns because of it.
