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.
