How far would you go with that? Are you against the Interstate Highway System? How about the Louisiana Purchase? It was the biggest statist project in United States history.

The government contracting with private construction companies (like they do now) is fine with me. Besides, you need some coordination with roads, if they are to connect to each other.
Also, it’s well known that Eisenhower’s aims in creating the Interstates were at least partly military, that he hoped to facilitate the rapid movement of military personnel and equipment as he had observed on the Lincoln Highway in 1919 and the German autobahns during World War II.
