Six lane blacktop

The interstate system may have caused more problems than it solved, a perfect example of a big government program generating conditions now deprecated by liberals. At the time, though, I don't think anyone could be blamed for not anticipating those problems. Perhaps this a prime example of letting the market do its job without interference, if we had not built the interstates, we might look a lot more like Europe does now,
less cars, less roads, less sprawl, a solid rail system, and we would still have plentiful oil reserves in our own country. Maybe you have a point after all....
