Government in America, and Englad, and the West, has always been deeply involved in matters of social welfare and necessary infrastructure.
Recall, please, that the original canal and railroad systems in the United States (e.g.: The Erie Canal, the Pennsylvania Railroad, et al) were constructred by government and later privatized. Similarly, the interstate highway system and the airport system and port system is all government built. So is the sewerage system. So was quite a bit of the original electrical power grid in much of America. Infrastructure is necessary for growth, and government's always been the prime mover. Point one.
