Just wanted to hop and remind folks that Trump, the oldest nominated candidate in American history, spent about 20% of his presidency on a golf course to the tune of $142,000,000 pulled straight from our taxes.

I would pledge to spend exactly $0 of tax money on golf if I were president. Imagine if that money instead went to filling pot holes, adding lanes to congested freeways, adding solar panels to the roofs of federal buildings etc.
Adding lanes has been shown not to reduce congestion on highways, but I’m with you otherwise.
There are places where it would help and places it wouldn’t. Making a blanket statement saying it doesn’t help is obtuse. Imagine if all freeways were reduced to 1 lane. Congestion would be worse, right? Well, someone had to add lanes to get us to our current state, right?
