Economic growth comes from entrepreneurs risking their own money, not from politicians risking your money.


I mostly agree, with some pretty important exceptions when it comes to infrastructure. Looking at history: the Homestead Act, Pacific Railroad Act, REA, Interstate Highways Act, all the locks and dams, even the early development of the internet by the military. Take all of these things away and our country's economic development would have been significantly slowed. That infrastructure was and is necessary for business, industry, and agriculture to thrive.





Homesteaders and railroaders are pretty much exactly what white shadow was talking about with entrepreneurs risking their own. Also some dams and utilities. The internet started in universities. I think your post does more to support white shadow’s than it does to refute it.

Business and industry thrive when government gets out of the way and lets people do things.
