Do our troops then have to fight to use a road in the US? Plus doesn't Mitch want to build a toll road from Indy to Evansville then lease it out as soon as it is finished? Seems there are better ways to attract business. When I was last on the Toll Road before it was privatized all the people who worked in the plazas and things didn't seem to happy. Seems like they were worried about losing their jobs.

Come to think of it, I don't think I have ever seen a toll plaza worker that "seemed happy" regardless if they were a guvamet employee or contracted out laborer.
