RE: Wasteful? How about building road after road, highway after highway? How about

Don't forget "how about subsidizing wind and solar companies".

With regard to: "The rest of the civilized world has FAR better public transportation."

It would be very useful if you could cite a few places where you've witnessed that first hand, and have eliminated the traffic problems which you mentioned.

I've been to several countries and cities where they have extensive public transportation (rail and bus), AND traffic gridlock. London is a mess. Paris is a mess. Nice/Menton is a mess. Florence is a mess. San Francisco is a mess. Chicago is a mess. Even two of my favorite places, Montreux and Sion, are a mess along their main streets.

And they ALL have public transit systems.

Have you ever driven around the Arch de Triomphe in Paris? It's a six "lane" round-about, and you better know how and where to get off, or you'll go around multiple times. How about the 880 along San Francisco Bay? When's the last time you drove over the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge (from Oakland) before 10 AM? It's an hour and a half ordeal - even though there are trains available.

So, tell us where you've been where public transportation was wonderful, and without traffic gridlock.
