They had no problem building interstates and airports. It wasn't the states.Gasp, Choke... Who the heck did you think built the interstates. IT WAS THE STATES! Yes some Federal money, Yes some Federal engineering specifications, but it was the STATES who built them. And some were built without Federal money! (Think the Thruway and other tolled turnpikes.) The States laid out the routes and acquired the land on which to build, and the STATES OWN the roadways and maintain them. The Federal Government does NOT build airports. There may be Federal money involved, but not all that much. Mostly they just run the towers. Airports are mostly designed by the localities they serve, or are built by the airlines that have their hubs there. And MOST of the money is state and local money. ROAR |
