Our interstate system i.e., the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of

what the Nazis had accomplished. You might believe that Eisenhower never

We'd probably have roads between our cities but it wouldn't be

will dissolve our Federal Highway Administration to save a few bucks.

 
Oh, come on. Maybe the Nazis did it first, but all countries would
have done it sooner or later, also without Nazi inspiration. Connect
your cities with nationally funded highways, what an invention!

  The Romans had already thought of and implemented
intercity highways when building their empire in an
earlier millennium.

The old road south from my home town followed the original road built
by the Romans.
