The American Interstate is more cost effective at $3 - 5 million per mile while a mile of the German autobahn is $18 million per mile.

because the Federal Reserve Banks has kept the interest rate to low for to long , so of course the rates are rising . It's time to return to the 1980's again with the 20% mortgages .
That may happen. Kiss that $2000 tax savings goodbye.

Over the time frame of a century , $18 M up front is a bargain .

No that will happen . And I never counted on that 2 grand anyway . Since the greedy D who run my state were planning on raising fees anyway .
I don't know how you say that. Around here, the same roads have to be rebuilt 15 times in 25 years.
Kiss that 3% growth figure goodbye then. Gonna be economics heading our way.
Your old age health care gets even more expensive.

Funny that's not what your side said this past year.
In your state? You'll be sued as a slumlord and lose it all.

The Autobahn has to be resurfaced every 40 years at a cost of $5.66 million per mile while the US Interstates have to be resurfaced every 20 years at a cost of $1.22 million per mile.
All costs provided are in current US dollars.
Give up the ghost ...
German Autobahn is a high quality roadway compared to the US roadways.
US roadways are considerable cheaper than German roadways.
If your point is quality then the Autobahn is much higher quality than US Interstates.
As an investment, UPS interstates are much, much cheaper per mile, especially over a century.
Note: You aren't arguing this time with a liberal driver who watches CNN to get their viewpoints.
I spent the last 30 years doing financial analysis based of the time value of money.

DOW up 7500 points since Trump was elected. Trump's fault.

That's not true ... you made it up.
Do you ever research anything before you post your made up thoughts?
The average roadway in the US has to be resurfaced every 20 years.
Dow up 11000 under Obama. Trump grabbed the low hanging fruit. Now it gets interesting.
Not in Illinois.
And yes I researched it years ago. Its all about construction process. In Germany they have a base several feet thick compared to about 18" in the US.
Freeze and thaw cycles kill roads around here.
