Did you know that we owe the beginning of our current interstate highway system to Roosevelt's "New Deal" policy that helped us OUT of a depression? Its all about the jobs created.
As for the size of America, yes we are bigger but we also have more people. It averages out I'm guessing.
The government will get behind anything that will get them votes. Period.
make it popular enough and it
will happen.
Environmentalists could be swayed as soon as we convince them that it is better to have all of your over the top waste and smog production in a confined space. (or something like that)
I think it would be cool, even it if it was only one stretch of road in the middle of nowhere that the throttle jockeys could go do their thing. Who knows, it MIGHT make them less inclined to drive like a maniac everywhere else. (yeah, yeah... pipe dream) but then I go back to my firm opinion that 99% of Americans would F it up immediately. C5 excluded,
of course.
