"Roads and bridges built by U.S. taxpayers are starting to be sold
off, and so far foreign-owned companies are doing the buying.

On a single day in June, an Australian-Spanish partnership paid $3.8
billion to lease the Indiana Toll Road. An Australian company bought a
99-year lease on Virginia's Pocahontas Parkway, and Texas officials
decided to let a Spanish-American partnership build and run a toll
road from Austin to Seguin for 50 years."

Maybe they don't have an international leg to stand on?
