Reply #5: It would involve the stinkin' gubmint.

If the gubmint has to be involved, then it doesn't need to be done.

Didn't you get the memo?

People forget that we accomplished all of the things mentioned by tclambert, plus other massive projects like the Tennessee Valley Authority and extending electricity and telephone service to other parts of rural America, various immunizations and other projects with the help of the federal government.

But also keep in mind that these were projects that benefited our society as a whole. These days, the federal government can only get involved if it means enriching a handful of corporations and their elite majority owners.
