This is the first time I've heard that Montana even _had_ speed
limits.
Feds said "No speed limits, no federal highway funds.", so they put 'em
in. 75 and 80 for awhile.

This is another thing that ****es me off about the Fed. There shouldn't
_be_ any "federal highway funds" - it should have been left in the hands
of the ones that create the wealth, namely the individuals that actually
pay for the roads.

All that's needed for a federal "highway department" is a map room, in
the reference section of the library.

But NOOOooooo!. The Fed steals your money and then blackmails you with
the money they've stolen from you.

That sucks.

Then there would probably not be a federal highway system...

Sure there would! It just wouldn't be run by bureaucrats. There were
US highways well before the federal behemoth started the "interstate"
system.

All you need is a map room where the states can coordinate the roads
at their borders.

Cheers!
