The Nazis were the first to come up with a standardized, federally
funded, built, and maintained, network of roads whose real purpose was
to rapidly mobilize military movement throughout Germany.
Our interstate system i.e., the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of
Interstate and Defense Highways, AKA, The Interstate, was inspired by
what the Nazis had accomplished. You might believe that Eisenhower never
heard of the Bundesautobahn, but that's rather far-fetched.
We'd probably have roads between our cities but it wouldn't be
maintained and funded as it is now. Perhaps the 10,000 tariff grandpa
will dissolve our Federal Highway Administration to save a few bucks.
