We pay an average of $8,500 every year for every car, truck and SUV on the roads today. That's a total of $1.5 trillion spent on transportation, every year. We could pay down the debt so fast if that money were magically redirected to the federal fisc.
I'm not saying we don't get our money's worth. But many drive much of the time because they have to, not because they want to.
