If You Think That "Government Can't Do Anything, Only Business Can"

Then how are you going to get to work? How are you going to travel?

In one of his posts, Don Brown mentioned that the airline industry wouldn't exist without government intervention.

It's more than the airlines, of course. The interstate highway system was built and paid for by government money as a quasi-military project (the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956). The first great transportation project in this nation, the Erie Canal, was funded by the state of New York. The railroads that linked the West Coast to the eastern U.S. would not have been built without government money (and land). Virtually every airport in the nation that operates commercial traffic was built with government money. Outside of subdivisions, if you drive down a paved road, you're driving on a road built and maintained with government money.

So if you want nothing from government, you can start by not using the transportation network that has been paid for by government money, thank you very much.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have cats to round up.
