I'm not sure I buy into what I read. However I am not sure how I will eventually feel but at first blush - let them build all they want to. They sure as heck can't pick them up and take them home with them. Chances of it happening are slim to none, but all the US has to do is say 'this is on our soil and it belongs to us'.
What say others to this proposition?

I posted that in a hurry. I'll add that it's from this mornings Netscape main page. I too don't really mind initially. But I'm looking into the future, as did one comment on future toll increases. Considering the number of households currently in financial distress and prices on too many commodities spiraling, I'm thinking it's a bad idea. Our vehicle reg fees and fuel taxes were meant to do the funding. We've just been allowing gov to divert money, shame on us. But we're shooting ourselves in the foot selling our roads for cash in the short term.

Don't know. Headlines come and go, often quickly.
