Make no mistake the government is the problem. Everything they touch turns to crap. They've got their tentacles into what was an innovative private industry and injected it with government brand lethargy and inefficiency.
I don't know....I think they (we since I am a Department of the Army civilian employee) do pretty good on some programs.
- Rural electrification ... having gone to college in West Virginia in the 1970s I saw the very real positive impacts of those programs which were still innovating and making lives better for Americans since its inception 40 years earlier
- The interstate highway system ... Sure it needs repairs, but I can still get5 from Richmond to Boston in less than 11 hours...that is making it through the longest congested stretch in the US on a trip of over 650 miles. I can be in Nashville in 9.
- air traffic control - we don't have planes flying into each other
What has also hurt the defense industry was the wholesale deregulation. Keeping companies small and competitive did a lot for creativity.
