Do you think it would be a good idea to to divide I-95 for some traffic solution


One Lane or Two Lane border off for fasttrak straight to New York and other lanes is for local exits

If they need money for something they always pull it out of somewhere. Can't say we've been saving up for all the wars since 1776. There's so much money that gets spent overseas. I know we want to keep our influence over the world but could we fix some damn pot holes and bridges first?

Most of the federal budget is military, social security, and Medicaid. A very, very small portion is put aside for transportation and infrastructure.

What a waste to spend so much on the military. Ugh. Most of our armament just sits there for maintenance and we seriously don't need a high speed bomber for 2020. I'll admit, it's some amazing innovative tech, but, who the hell spends nearly $1 billion for one damn plane? Not to mention the amount we wasted on these wars. I wish they spent that money on infrastructure and education. Considering college education debt is exponentially raising, I wish the Government did something about it. Perhaps in a very ideal world.... :/

1 trillion is spent on military crap each year thats 460 billion more then every country on this planet combined... We also spend 90 billion in pork investments and give away hundreds of billions in tax breaks to companies that continue to send jobs overseas... So we have the money , so when ever someone tells me we don't its BS.

Thought of something, why not build the fasttrak lanes on I-84/I-91 in Hartford. They already have the HOV lane there.
