[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 2201735, member: 56035"] your government is not broke lol. you are the wealthiest country on the planet. your problem is a political one. government providing things at cost or as a subsidy like utilities, roads, military, libraries etc is a way of freeing a society from exorbitant economic rents, so it can develop and be more productive. this has been abandoned in teh era of privatization, and we are returning to an era of [B]neo feudalism[/B] where workers spend all their money paying the rent for these things, and are tied to the land. if everything was tolled as you probably want, probably half the country couldnt afford the use tolls.
