My point was the American interstate was inspired by the German
Autobahn. There's nothing surprising about that. The Nazis wanted a high
speed roadway network for military reasons and so did the Americans. I
suppose that might be surprising but that purpose is included in the
official name of the US Interstate.

 Obviously a total failure.  If it was done right, there would be a bridge so we could drive to one of our states, Hawaii.  Don't call in "interstate" and miss one.

But, da hawaiians wants it dat way. Same as da porto riceans.
Right now, Trump is probably planning several new interstate Highways. One to Panama. Another to green land. The latter will have a LONG spur route straight into Moscow, to facilitate cultural exchange with our greatest ally.
These are big projects, so don't expect them to be complete until early 2026.
And don't worry about being taxed to support the grand project; it will be fully paid by the tariff income.
