The fact that "need" and "wants" exceed resources is not a matter of the system not working. If we "need" more money for roads, highways, and bridges, raise the per gallon fuel tax on the drivers that use roads, highways, and bridges. The system is there, the overall users of the system pay the overall cost of the system. The more you use the roads, the more you pay in fuel taxes.
The highway system is one of the few gummint things paid for by what amounts to "user fees".
