Should the government increase spending on public transportation?
While it's true that the role of government is a topic of debate, the Constitution also grants the power to "promote the general Welfare" (Article I, Section 8). This has been interpreted to include various public services, such as education, healthcare, and public transportation. For example, the establishment of the United States Postal Service in 1775 was a crucial step in connecting the nation and facilitating trade and communication, proving that government can be effective in managing certain services.
In the context of public transportation, increased investment could benefit society as a whole by reducing traffic congestion, lowering carbon emissions, and providing affordable transportation options for all. What are your thoughts on how privatization could address these challenges without sacrificing the public good?
