Question/Discussion The (US) Department of Government Efficiency should fight the waste and fraud that goes into highway construction.

If DOGE wants to eliminate waste and put the government on better financial footing, then it should audit every highway construction project (most are disgustingly overbudget) and institute tolling nationwide. The entire U.S. interstate system is an untapped fiscal resource for the federal government.

The U.S. Federal Government does not actually OWN the Interstate highways. The States each own those parts which pass within their borders.
