Good thing none of you were around when gas stations weren't as widespread, or when we didn't have a interstate or highway system. You would have thought we'd be stuck with bicycles and horse and buggies forever.

I have great confidence in my fellow Americans, but I don’t share that optimism for our elected leaders. They control the purse strings, and there is far too much corruption and waste. What is the most recent government success story related to infrastructure? Same thing regarding education. We spend more per student, but they aren’t doing well. I think it’s a self-fulfilling circle down the drain. Something needs to change. Overwhelming evidence suggests our institutions and bureaucracies are partisan and corrupt.
