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

Wrong-o, bucko. Building roads to carry the mail is one of the explicitly
enumerated powers of the Federal government, specifically Congress, under
the Constitution. Article I, Section 8, paragraph 7.

And boy, ain't they doing a great job of it!
