Like the Gov. paying farmers not to grow crops.
Yes, and the government sets the prices artificially high, eliminating half the world as the farmer's customers, thus cutting the farmer's profits. FDR and his Department of Agriculture destroyed our economy for nearly a century.

I tend to agree with your comment about individual creativity. Where I differ is that no one I have listened to nor myself is proposing anything that suppresses individual accomplishment..
But central plan for infrastructure, wh**ever should be nationwide and affect all of us in a positive manner?
That is what we are talking about..
I see no interest in private corps building these systems of highways, sewers, etc..
These all are much better addressed by govt for uniform performance nation wide..

WHAT? Your right wingers are always using the 1950s as the high water mark of the world you wish we still had. Now you say that time of high wages, single job families and middleclass growth was all bad and a destroyed economy???
You better make up your mind..

I don't understand your logic. Our Constitution is based upon a free-market economy and private property in the full definition of philosopher John Locke. This is where 100% of creativity and innovation comes from.
The Constitution also states that the government will run national defense and build the infrastructure between the states, like roads, ports, forts, etc. which you cannot construe to be a "socialist centralized planned economy."
No matter how you wangle your desire for socialized medicine which would comprise 1*6th the market economy, it is unacceptable. The US Health Department has never found a cure for any disease yet consumes half of all our budget and produces nothing but more red tape. You will pay with your life.
Why don't you understand this? This is not Disneyland where you wish upon a star to make a wish come true. You are a free man, permafrost, move to Sweden, if they will have you.
