We have WAAAAY more places to go than just to work. The horrific
backups on interstate highways outside large population centers on
Sunday night says people are traveling back home from Grandma's,
probably 50 - 100 miles away, and there's no bike, train, bus, or
jogging going to heip that situatiuon. You can build subways and
other light rail 'til the cows come home, and we'll still need a
dramatic expansion of the Interstate highway system to bypass a lot of
the population centers and keep people moving who just want to get to
the next state.

And no that ain't quick, but its necessary.

First, tho, we have to restore prosperity to America. Pass the Fair
Tax to do that.
