"Support for education and research should be as fundamental as clean air or safe roads."

I think the current powers that be hold clean air and safe roads in the same esteem as they hold education and research.

Maybe "Support for education and research should be as fundamental as golf tournaments or Diet Coke" would be a better anology.

Didn't Florida suggest using mining waste for road construction ... the kicker being that it's mildly radioactive?

The problem there is- that rubber friction, brings little particles from the road into the air- and you then inhale it. Ingestion and inhalation makes even alpha particles more dangerous. Of course it would be mainly for those living near the roads.
