INTERNATIONALIZING U.S. ROADS

The US is undergoing what is perhaps the most frenzied road building effort since the 1950s and 60s. Why? Peak Oil is here now. What purpose does this serve?

I suspect that it is perhaps one of the largest giveaways of federal funds to corporate cronies in history. Much of the money will find its way back into Neocon and Neolib pockets. It is also sure to further weaken the Treasury and increase US indebtedness. Second, when it comes time to effectively manage a United States in meltdown, these roads will facilitate military control and be easier to police than other interstate highways. Note how Arnold Schwarzenegger is a big proponent of this, even with California’s massive budget problems. This only encourages more energy consumption and accelerates the coming train wreck. – Michael C Ruppert
