Maybe I am a little slow in understanding economics and politics, but I have a really hard time understanding this. Why are public roads and ports even up for sale to foreign investors? Why are things like national parks now owned by foreign corporations? I am sure that if the federal government wants to get out of the business of managing toll roads, there are plenty of American businesses who would be happy to take over the management for a good price. Why would the government ever think about selling these things to foreigners?
    Remember the issue about the Chinese controlling the ports and now Spain controlling the super highway from Mexico to Canada? It seems to me this is not in the best interest of the American people. I do not see why the government can sell off public commodities to foreign businesses, so maybe someone can help me understand it. It seems that just because a foreign corporation might make a good offer on controlling an American transportation corridor does not mean it is the best solution. I wonder if the public were allowed to vote on these issues how many would vote in favor of foreigners owning or controlling our vital interests. It seems to me like asking the fox to guard the henhouse.
