It started with Reagan. He fired the air-traffic controllers, gave a tax cut that nearly bankrupted the country. David Stockman, Ronnie's budget director, said had he not alerted Congress, 72 hours later, it would have happened. Yet the GOP continues to purpetuate 'trickle-down economics.' Here's the parable: "The Cloud Minders." There's always been rich and poor people. Even in the 23rd Century, there will be. Yes, we did put a man on the moon, with Government contacts to the lowest bidder. It took 35 years to complete the Interstate Highway System. I remember back in the 60s and 70s, when they were still building I-96 in Livonia, Michigan, where I lived. It was nothing past Telegraph Road. Then 275 and 696.

Fixing the roads would have been much easier had every state made the interstates toll roads.
