Poll Says We Want More Free Roads and Stuff
Americans want a federal infrastructure program to focus on rebuilding aging roads and bridges, but are reluctant to use federal dollars for such projects, according to a Reuters poll released on Thursday. Everyone wants infrastructure, but almost no one wants to pay for it.
Obama was giving it away for free! Gimmee summore!
Consistent with voter attitudes since before the Declaration of Independence was written.
I think it began shortly before the Magna Carta...
According to the Dec. 16-Jan. 12 poll, most Americans said a federal infrastructure program should focus on improving existing roads and bridges. They expressed less interest in mass transit, new roads and new technology.
Will somebody ask them if they'd rather have roads or a Department of Energy?
Americans also expressed little interest in paying for such a program. Some 51 percent of respondents said they did not want a higher tax bill as a result, but 49% didn't care and 56 percent said they do not want the government to borrow money to pay for infrastructure. Some 50 percent said motorists should pay tolls and user fees, but nearly as many, at 41 percent, did not want that kind of charge, either.
That's be the "More Free Stuff" 41%, right? All Dems? Why should the folks of Omaha pay for the expressways in New York? Toll roads aren't going to be constructed in Emblem, Wyoming. They ought to be for tolls! All ten residents! Posted by: Bobby 2017-01-21
