Private roads only work on heavily traveled major freeways and tunnels, which in most cases is good.
However, the government has to build and provide maintenance to secondary/local roads and highways.
I say leave it up to the states.

but corporate monopolies and cartels are not efficient

Simple. Take away government's power to give subsidies. When government is made smaller, the market reacts to fill any void; and it does so better than government ever could have.

@KripDrip It's simply not true that "only rich people can afford... private roads". I lived in Los Angeles, near where the 91 freeway they allude to in this video. It's affordable and if all roads were privatized, the price would drop further due to competition. And, by the way, what's wrong with profit?

This globalist lap dog would gladly trade in his American Citizenship for a global one. The problem is states do not own the public highways, citizens do. The way to produce jobs is to tariff Asia who is preforming the value added operations to our resources, and manufacturing our consumer goods.

I concur :)

ignorance on so many levels. i suggest you actually read walter block's book on privatizing roads.

only rich people can afford to drive on private roads. Its all about profit for them.

Where I live in Brisbane, Australia there have been a lot of new roads, tunnels and bridges built in the last few years and all or most of them have been built by private companies. And you can see efficiency in action if you compare how long contruction took under private management compared to roads the government has built, some of which they are still working on after years of construction. If we are now contracting private companies to build our roads, complete privatisation is not far off.
