Exactly how did US roads and bridges build the first auto?

[The T]

A rare good post from Frank though a failed "bash the left" attempt.

Henry Ford was one of the pioneers of offering hard working americans an honest job for fair pay. He took the automobile from a luxury that only the very wealthy could afford, to ones that the average american could.

During those days it was still dirt roads with horse and buggy still competing with them.

It wasn't until the revolutionary FDR came into office for years of right wing distruction creating the great depression, he put the american people to work when they needed it the most to beautify america by create the roads and much of the infrastructure we still enjoy today.

Bullshit. FDR had ZERO to do with it.

Google "Hoover dam" then come back when you have even a pinch of a clue to what you are talking about

No thanks. I already have a 'CLUE' as to what the WPA was all about and the Socialist intent.

Hey, dumbfuck, the Hoover Dam was started under Herbert Hoover..... that's why it isn't called the Roosevelt Dam.

Not to mention Roosevelt wasn't president in 1931 when the dam was commissioned...

It wasn't until the revolutionary FDR came into office from years of right wing destruction creating the great depression. From there FDR knew what made a great america, the people of this great land. They needed help in which he put the american people to work when they needed it the most to beautify america by create the roads and much of the infrastructure we still enjoy today.

Just exactly when was FDR elected?

1920's Automobiles and Road Transportation

By the late 1920s, the automobile had firmly established itself as the newest and most popular method of road transport.

The rapidly growing automobile industry led by Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company produced new and better models every year for the insatiable public demand. Increased wages and lower cost vehicles through mass production made cars increasingly affordable, although 3 out of 4 cars were bought on installment plans.

Try again dipshit. There had been planning for the dam for decades that never went anywhere, until FDR put the american people to work to build it.

Not to mention most of the roads we still drive on today.

It's surprising (and pathetic) that so many right wingers don't even know basic elementary school history

Roads and autos had nothing to do with one another other than the fact autos roll along them.

Started in 1931, dedicated in 1935, FDR was inagurated in 1933.

Buzzoff moonbat.

The TVA and other projects transformed the south from a flood ravaged pit of poverty and despair into a pretty nice place to live, and these hillbillies think the government never did anything worth a crap, My parents saw their sharecropper families get the first decent paychecks a southern man ever received thanks to FDR.

the New Deal ring a bell?

1. CCC - Civilian Conservation Corps

The Civilian Conservation Corps was created in 1933 by Franklin D. Roosevelt to combat unemployment. This work relief program had the desired effect and provided jobs for many Americans during the Great Depression. The CCC was responsible for building many public works and created structures and trails in parks across the nation.

2. CWA - Civil Works Administration

The Civil Works Administration was created in 1933 to create jobs for the unemployed. Its focus on high paying jobs in the construction arena resulted in a much greater expense to the federal government than originally anticipated. The CWA ended in 1934 in large part due to opposition to its cost.
3. FHA - Federal Housing Administration

The Federal Housing Administration was a government agency created to combat the housing crisis of the Great Depression. The large number of unemployed workers combined with the banking crisis created a situation in which banks recalled loans. The FHA was designed to regulate mortgages and housing conditions.
4. FSA - Federal Security Agency

The Federal Security Agency established in 1939 had the responsibility for several important government entities. Until it was abolished in 1953, it administered social security, federal education funding, and food and drug safety.
5. HOLC - Home Owner's Loan Corporation

The Home Owner's Loan Corporation was created in 1933 to assist in the refinancing of homes. The housing crisis created a great many foreclosures, and Franklin Roosevelt hoped this new agency would stem the tide. In fact, between 1933 and 1935 one million people received long term loans through the agency that saved their homes from foreclosure.
6. NRA - National Recovery Act

The National Recovery Act was designed to bring the interests of working class Americans and business together. Through hearings and government intervention the hope was to balance the needs of all involved in the economy. However, the NRA was declared unconstitutional in the landmark Supreme Court case Schechter Poultry Corp. v. US. The Supreme Court ruled that the NRA violated the separation of powers.
7. PWA - Public Works Administration

The Public Works Administration was a program created to provide economic stimulus and jobs during the Great Depression. The PWA was designed to create public works and continued until the US ramped up wartime production for World War II. It ended in 1941.
8. SSA - Social Security Act

The Social Security Act was designed to combat the widespread poverty among senior citizens. The government program provided income to retired wage earners. The program has become one of the most popular government programs and is funded by current wage earners and their employers. However, in recent years concerns have arisen about the viability of continuing to fund the program as the Baby Boom generation reaches retirement age.

9. TVA - Tennessee Valley Authority

The Tennessee Valley Authority was established in 1933 to develop the economy in the Tennessee Valley region which had been hit extremely hard by the Great Depression. The TVA was and is a federally owned corporation that works in this region to this day. It is the largest public provider of electricity in the United States.
10. WPA - Works Progress Administration

The Works Progress Administration was created in 1935. As the largest New Deal Agency, the WPA impacted millions of Americans. It provided jobs across the nation. Because of it, numerous roads, buildings, and other projects were completed. It was renamed the Works Projects Administration in 1939. It officially ended in 1943.

Still trolling after you've been owned? That's to be expected from the radical right. Inform yourself, things like books are not the enemy

In the 1920's roads and bridges were ubiquitous. Every country had roads and/or bridges and the vast majority of truly great civilizations had both roads and bridges.

Somehow, and just in the USA, roads and bridges were responsible for the development of the automobile.

Can someone switch on their Obama Context Filter and walk us through how roads and bridges in the USA were responsible for the development of the automobile?

Without roads and bridges of what use is an automobile?

 

[Care4all]

roads did not create or build the automobile, but they did inspire its creation, and the expansion of roads, and paving of roads promoted its use imho

 

[onecut39]

Roads were first animal paths through forests. Then people made paths and roads big enough for wagons and horses to use. They chopped down trees and cleared roadways. When there were towns, the townspeople got together and put in cobble stones for the road and wooden walkways for sidewalks so that women would not get their skirts muddy. Landowners built their own roads from a main dirt road to their farm.

YOu mean like their driveways? Awesome!!

What's the matter? Did I remind you that you live in one of the most flood controlled cities in the world? Maybe you need to look around at all those levies and canals and wonder at the level of altruism it took to build it all and then multiply that for every river basin in the south that used to sweep away the crops and children of generations of southerners.

It is not just your humble opinion. It is fact.
