...world's highway Goliath become the superpower of potholes? A major reason is that in its haste, America built on the cheap. Across the nation, state and local governments have tended to award competitive contracts to the lowest bidder, often meaning they got the shoddiest materials and the sloppiest work. In addition, the Federal Government has encouraged neglect by subsidizing new construction or major restructuring at 90 cents to the dollar but awarding no subsidies for maintenance work.

He responded to some of the Washington Post's revelations by charging "character assassination" and "the shoddiest kind of journalism." Often his answers seemed deliberately unclear or misleading...
