The control of the money for infrastructure and transportation must return to the states. Federal administrations are using infrastructure bills to steal from the American people. Most Americans realize infrastructure funding is a form of thievery. These bills cause taxpayers to pay trillions of dollars we do not have. Our total national debt is at twenty trillion dollars and growing! Yet, we are continuously spending money on infrastructure without seeing the benefit of our spending. For example, New York City, one of the largest cities in the United States, has horrible roads. State and federal taxes, as well as tolls, are charged to taxpayers. Some tolls in NYC are as high as $20, yet the roads are pathetically maintained. If your vehicle is damaged while driving on these roads, you are responsible for repair costs. This is an indication that the money is not allocated as promised. We must increase accountability and demand transparency.

Many federal representatives overreach their power regarding infrastructure in our nation. For this reason, KCP believes decisions on infrastructure funding and spending should solely belong to local counties. Local taxpayers would be entitled to vote for or against funding allocations directly impacting their community. We must take the money out of the hands of federal representatives who are depriving American citizens of financial freedom through unaccountable infrastructure bills and higher taxes. Based on the county they live in, it is the job of the American people to conduct and attend quarterly or regularly scheduled meetings and vote on what, where, when, and how money in their communities should be spent. It’s time to take America back and put the responsibility back into the hands of American citizens.
