Actually the road I live on does turn a profit. Property taxes and gas tax maintain the road. Over the years, it has more than paid for itself. Don’t get me wrong, I like trains. The issue is,for large capital outlays, we as a country really need to start looking at investment opportunities based upon the return they provide to everyone. I realize people will hate this but, it is a simple spreadsheet exercise. We all want a lot of things. But the best ideas should be funded that provide an actual return so we can afford to do additional good ideas.
