Imagine, if the United States of today lacked any fragment of the Interstate Highway System. Traffic choking the land from coast to coast. I wonder how many skeptics would insist on some guarantee of it having to "pay for itself" before being built.

A real rail system once flourished in this country. And, although it may never be rebuilt, that will be due more to a failure of vision than some number crunching budgeteers.

I can well imagine and if possible would not of built the system.

The highway system modeled on socialist Adolph Hitler, capitalized and pulled the economic rug out of the cities, which were repositories of hundreds of years of free market investment.

It, highways, caused by government force massive economic misallocation.
