Pic Of The Moment: Trump's Infrastructure Plan: Brought To You By The Makers Of Trump University

15. What Problem Would The Trump Plan Fix?

There aren't that many new roads that need to be built. We have many roads that need to be upgraded.

Let's say that we have an Interstate that is congested with 3 lanes of traffic each direction. The logical solution would be to expand it to 4 lanes each direction, and all that that would entail. That highway is currently funded 90% federal and 10% state and paid for with fuel taxes from each jurisdiction. So how do you convert that from public to private - by bids? Would the proceeds from that sale then pay for tax cuts for his wealthy friends? I'm having trouble visualizing how this works. When the work is done I am still paying the same fuel tax as before but now I am also paying the toll charge to use the road. The consumers look screwed to me while the fat cats make out like a bandit.
