But these won't get sold to builders.  They will get sold to corporate raiders who will sell off and gut them of anything of value and leave an empty shell laden with debt.

It's all going to be privatized. 

Indiana's hard core GOP legislature just gave the governor the power to make every Interstate hwy in the state toll roads.  Of course they still would need Federal permission and there are some Interstates that the traffic is too heavy to try and toll.

There are some things that government does that just cannot be run like a business.
