The Donkeys
At the edge of Fort Wayne, on Highway #14 (Illinois Road), the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is in charge of widening approximately a two-mile stretch for the past two years and they still aren't finished. The projected completion date is August of 2010, roughly three years from when they started That's less than an average of one mile of new, finished highway per year.
Now if INDOT was in charge of building a highway, at that pace, across the United States, which is roughly three thousand miles, it would take them--you guessed it--over three thousand years! Hell, the ancient Romans could have done it faster by hand, using just donkeys and mules. But obviously they wouldn't have put the asses in charge!
