Roads and Bridges

No one has asked or considered what roads would look like if politicians hadn’t taken it upon itself to build them; how much cheaper, better, more durable, more quickly built, how much more imaginative in design. We are only told how no business can survive without them, that government builds them, and, therefore, how no enterprise can exist without government largess.  Consider what complex things those businesses create — and in what quantities — on a daily basis and consider just how idiotic an assertion it is that private enterprise couldn’t build all the roads and bridges we’ll ever need far more effectively. “You didn’t build that” becomes the lament of missed opportunity.
