In that we have you beat. Almost all highway construction up here lately has 
been privately funded - either by builders for new subdivisions or by 
consortiums that are slowly replacing our highways with toll routes.

The governement wins on 3 counts - the roads are being built quicker, usually 
cheaper, and there's someone else to blame when people complain about the 
toll rates going up.

Fair enough.  But I do wonder this:    All our roads are paid for by public 
funds, nearly all anyway.  Why does it not set off bells that the 
government, in all its forms, says give us all your road construction and 
maintanance 
money and we will take care of you.   Ditto military.  Ditto education.  
Etc.
