Um, without the national highway system - which could not have been built by one company - those private truckers would be at the mercy of dozens of private/state owned roads all charging fees and tolls. No where in my post did I suggest trucks and fuel stations are not privately owned;, your condescending remark did not escape my attention.
No remarks, condescending or otherwise on the health of our country's river systems today?
I said government cannot create lasting employment and you said they can, then preceded to throw out private-sector jobs as examples.
It's not my fault you can't use real examples to prove your point. You have to instead use false rhetoric hoping I won't know you're wrong. That may work with some people but not someone who has worked in both the public and the private-sector. Somebody that doesn't swallow the Obama bullshit he spreads around during his stump speeches.
Those private jobs are possible because the government created the means. And, the roads need to be maintained, workers make a career fixing them, patrolling them to keep users safe plowing them so snow and ice doesn't restrict commerce, building and replacing signs, rest areas, etc I not sure if you're intentionally obtuse or too concrete a thinker and unable to see beyond your biases.
How about them rivers?
You're lumping state and local government in with the feds.
Try to stay on track.
Now, what makes it possible for government to do what they do?
Answer: Taxes and fees
Without the dollars from the private-sector government wouldn't be able to do diddly-squat.
So who really owns those roads???? Certainly not the government?
