Matt Walsh: The road to ruin: Letting FDOT build our highways

While Gov. Charlie Crist (our favorite shooting target) is traveling to the Middle East to continue laying the foundation for his run at the Republican vice presidential nomination and, after that, the presidency (don't laugh), Southwest Florida's transportation needs on Interstate 75 from Tampa Bay to Collier County are a prima facie example of how and why all road building and the government transportation departments should be abolished and privatized.

Everyone in Southwest Florida sees it everyday - traffic coming to a standstill at least twice a day on I-75 in Hillsborough, Manatee, Sarasota, Lee and Collier counties. It's difficult to say which area is the worst; they're all horrendous.
