In Arizona, public road construction, appears to be based on a sub-contractor ponzi scheme of doing tiny amounts of work all over the state, taking YEARS to build small roadways, repaving etc.

Tucson had a project for widening state highway 10 that took years, and it is still not done-- 10+ years after being announced.

Signs, barriers etc. go up for months with no sign of work, or when there is work going on it takes forever to complete.

As a nation, we are incapable of delivering a high speed rail system to match those in Europe or Asia.
