At the same time, I've yet to see an American complaining that the government is spending too much money on roads because it's riddled with potholes.

Usually the complaint is that road money is misallocated to surface fixes that result in more potholes in the long run. In some states and municipalities, this has to do with how government employees steer construction contract awards. I see wanting to change this as analogous to the desired reforms in public transportation.

I would be in favor of many country roads returning to gravel, and the savings used to make more bike and foot paths.
