It was assumed technology would make road construction inexpensive and quick to produce but that has not been the case. Our nation is bankrupting itself borrowing hundreds of billions just to keep the current infrastructure from falling apart.
And they aren't even successful at that! We can't generate enough money in this country to maintain the current roadway system, but they continue to build more that they will have to maintain...madness!
