#1 Why is this any of Treasury's business?
I would expect the logical agency to be the FBI.

#2 It makes my skin crawl learning about how other countries are buying up parts of our country, a little at a time.
Don't other countries own alot of the roads back east I read somewhere?

#3 Why is this any of Treasury's business?
They're the one with the information. Companies have to report to the Treasury Department whenever there's any large-scale foreign investment in their companies.

#4 More importantly, why the hell isn't this done annually?

#5 I imagine it will be, from now on. The big players like working with new information, and dislike not getting it ongoing. And once the computer program has been set up, it's easy enough to publish.

#6 We have a new toll- freeway in San Diego (under construction) which has been heavily subsidizd by an Aussie company, one who will collect tolls for IIRC 30 yrs. I'm OK with that

#9 same as toll roads elsewhere. The Co. came up with the funds to design/permit/build it in return for the ability to toll it...if they hadn't, it wouldn't be built. Works for me

#10 I think the Spemble was referring to the term "freeway" applied to a toll road.

#12 The balance of payments may be coming home to roost. Ship so many $ overseas, and don't be surprised when furriners buy property here with the same $.
