Big government has helped to create millions of jobs when it has been willing to invest in new, unproven but ultimately beneficial technologies. The history of our country, from the transcontinental railroad to the Internet, has demonstrated this time and time again.
The space program is one notable example, and can be again. Interstate automobile travel is yet another example, and can be again.
One day, when we start deriving public policy from facts, and not feelings, these fantasies can become reality.
