More Americans are getting back to work and getting back on the road after the Covid-19 shutdowns.
And some may be noticing the expansion of so-called "dynamic pricing express lanes."
Outside of Washington D.C., there is a section of dynamic pricing toll lanes that can charge commuters upwards of $50 to travel one time on a ten mile stretch of road.
I learned that a private foreign company brought the idea to the U.S. and to sell state and local officials on the idea, it lobbies them and makes political campaign contributions.
What do commuters and residents get out of the expensive ride? It it highway robbery or just the price of traveling the fast lane?
That's my cover story Sunday on Full Measure.

It's not necessarily what you might think.

"Dynamic pricing" on toll roads is nothing short of highway robbery. I have friends that make long-distance commutes who live by toll rates. It's piracy, clearly aimed at limiting traffic on certain roads. And in many cases, the proceeds are not even used to fund roads but alternative transportation methods. In the end, I suspect the funds will end up in a general fund and wasted on yet additional boondoggles.
I do believe your right Sharyl!
Points out clearly why we must stop the curruption and drain the swamp.
Put a stop to federal overreach. Stop the attack of cancell culture. End this administration that is clueless as to the everyday American citizen, and continues to do detriment to the American way of life, The Constitution
