  • This helps explain why the American Society of Civil Engineers gives the US a national grade of D-.  We continue to underfund the needed investments to stay compettive and to protect our societal needs. We cannot continue on thepath of 'break and fix', we simply cannot afford it.

  • I'm never one to promote tax increases, but I really think the gas tax should be a % of the price of fuel, not just a flat amount. We need to invest in our infrastructure now or we're really going to feel the pain in the next few decades.

  • Sources for funding expenditures is always an issue

  • These are not reasonable comparisons & nothing more than propaganda! The tax is too high now! If the Fed politi-nuts were not stealing from the Highway Trust Fund, we would be in fine shape. Even some states like NC use the money for anything but roads. Europe spends so much because of the added high costs of the European Union crook-ocracy. We should never be compared to them or to a third world communist country like China that is just now building a real infra-structure.

  • Outstanding job of demystifying a complex topic!

  • This production is excellent!!!  So much for our SuperPower status.

    We need to get our system back in shape. Wake up America.

    Put Americans back to work. Invest in your infrastructure!!!

    We are like Pensoil. You can pay a little now or a lot later. We are going towards the later phase quickly!!!!

    Way to go George ..... Marshall
