More ass backward cargo cult thinking.

Things like roads and bridges do facilitate industry but they don’t drive it. There was a growing need for an interstate highway system, the interstate didn’t create the need.

An often forgotten fact is that the interstate system was built to speed up the transport of military materiel in the advent of war and had nothing to do with helping industry or the public. Same with the internet and information.

Using Obama and Elizabeth Warren’s convoluted logic “No one got rich on their own” nonsense, would prompt me to ask them why isn’t everyone rich then? If everyone benefits from these services, products, roads, bridges, etc, that you speak of, then why do have so many poor people?

The interstate highway system was built on fraud in the first place, congress did not have the constitutional authority to construct a highway system, they were shot down numerous times by the courts, they then decided on a national rouse that the highway system was necessary for National Security, the Courts and Congress went along with the rouse and that is how we got our interstate highway system. BASED ON FRAUD AND DECEIT, not that it isn’t a good thing in the long run, just the way it was done, thereby giving CONTROL TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Had the States done it on their own, we would be much better off.
