8. We Have Northwest Parkway In Denver Area. Foreign Company Has 99 Year Lease.

No Congressional approval needed. Right now a foreign corporation can come in and make deals on infrastructure investment. There are some cities where the water is privately owned and operated. I believe Milwaukee is one.

The GOP believes that the commons should be a commodity for profit and not be publicly owned. That belief even goes to the national parks system. We have an element in the country that believes that there should be NO publicly owned commons. It should all be corporate even foreign owned.

Bush had a plan or idea to have the entire interstate system turned into toll system.
