To be clear, I wasn't talking about not maintaining existing infrastructure which seems to be what the wiki entry you linked is about. I was talking about a freeze in new infrastructure specifically to allow for existing infrastructure to be better maintained and better utilized.
Toll roads, toll bridges. Return 100% of infrastructure obligations to the states and give them the gas tax money, no need to bring it to Washington so it can be skimmed for pork projects.
Except it is of national interest to have a working highway system and for all the states to have a roughly similar economic outlook. "Pork projects" are a good surplus recycling mechanism.
