The dumbest part about your post is that you believe that government is the only way to build infrastucture. The entire banking system was build privately. In the US the entire power and telephone system was build privately(and much more efficiently than in government run systems). Food distribution in the country that has the most access to the largest varieties of produce worldwide in the planet was built privately. The original road systems were built privately. The Internet was about to be built by several private entities, but government beat them to it by a matter of a year or two at most. Imagine how much better things would have gone if IBM's "ethernet" had beat them to it!
In East Germany, as the wall was coming down, the government warned people that without the government to control distribution of things like toothpaste, that people would go without. They argued that without central control, how would products get to people that needed them?
Such total fallacies that you live under Paul. It's staggering.
I say all this as someone that has lived outside the US for almost half of my 50 years, btw....
