Um, perhaps in theory, but the system has long failed and the states require a greater percentage of federal funding, from anything from interstate highway work to state roads, to some cases even county roads. People wine about higher gas taxes and don't want to pay tolls, so that's why the feds are going to have to continue to provide money.roads are maintained by your state, not the president.
And before whining some more lookup the definition of socialism. Obama is a capitalist, we'll call him a new capitalist since your system failed...
Looks like I'll have to start the "biking against socialism" across country ride so I can be as far from DC as possible on inauguration day. If any fellow republicans feel like following a fat guy on a full suspension mountain bike out to California let me know...
I'm pretty sure that California (majority) voted Obama. You might want to try Alabama.

Back on topic, I can only imagine what a rewarding and accomplished feeling riding across country can be. Regardless of if it's for a political reason or another cause. Perhaps one day, but I doubt it at this point in my life.
Well as a current civil engineer, regardless of the unit costs of some items in a project, there simply is not enough money out there to do the number of projects required to the scope that is required. Besides it sounds like those drivers where taking GTluke's advise and taking care of themselves.
With small goverment the people get greedy and take, with large goverment the goverment gets greedy and takes. There's no perfect solution, but with Obama there's hope to pull this country out of the mess we've gotten ourselves into. Clearly I'm not the only who thinks this or else he wouldn't be about to become our President. .
UtahJoe, move back to Utah, the riding much better there
