Part of the result of good progressive leadership in our government during the '30s and '40's.

We stand on the shoulders of giants - our parents (and grandparents) knew , when they were building TVA, REA, and the State Parks, that those would be an inheritance to their children and grandchildren.

But, what are WE building now to hand down to our children and grandchildren ? Seventy five years from now what youtube videos will our kids be watching showing their grandaddys building infrastructure to make their lives better ?

Seems a sad indictment upon our generation.

Perhaps our descendants will be thinking about how much treasure this nation wasted on unnecessary wars and armaments that could have been used instead to repair and replace crumbling infrastructure and build new and necessary public works.
