Government by Giveaway

By Michael Parenti
In the 1950s, the Eisenhower administration sought to undo what
conservatives in those days called the "creeping socialism" of the New
snip
During that time, the federal government also built a multibillion
dollar interstate highway system that provided the
infrastructure----and an enormous indirect subsidy---for the trucking
and automotive industries.
Just this example tosses the whole argument. Better get the facts
straight. Ike built the interstate highway system after he saw the
autobahn in Germany during WW-11. When he was a mere junior officer,
he had to take a convoy across the US. 1920's I think, and took
about 3 months to do it. So for strategic purposes the interstate
system was built, with the requirement that every so many miles the
highway had to be capable of being a landing field for airplanes.
Get your facts straight before launching your anti-capitolism rants.


Capt. Bill,
If you review the list of NG included in the this post, it is an
obvious troll.

Harry,
Why don't you filter my messages? If you don't want to actually filter
them, just pretend to filter them.
