It is easier down south. Few if any hard freezes, less traffic volume and the roads are relatively new.
There are a lot more cars on the road, the gas tax hasn't risen in 23 years and vehicles today are far more efficient so more miles and less fuel. Please don't pretend that you don't see the problem with that.
Folks generally don't support tax hikes. We can afford to bomb and build roads in other third world countries more readily than taking care of our own infrastructure.
The money simply isn't there now with already 1.4T debts every single year. Around double what it was when the people that are currently spending the money were complaining about the other guy's spending.
How fiscally responsible.
