The interstate system has made it possible for the country to function and allowed imports to reach the furthest reaches of the nation. Without it cities would be starved for supplies. Designed for defense, it's been the most important national advancement since rail roads.The Interstate system has made traffic worse for every major city.
Wonderful. Now would someone be so nice as to provide some context so as to ease my confusion?Yes.
Seems like a pretty lame argument, particularly if you weigh the historical benefits we got from the interstate system, at the time it was implemented, and the cons, traffic congestion over connecting the nation both economically, culturally, etc etc is pretty small beansNote: I don't actually believe that, it is an argument I have heard against Ike

Traffic congestion was far worse before the interstate. That is even taking into consideration that there were far fewer people and cars back then.Seems like a pretty lame argument, particularly if you weigh the historical benefits we got from the interstate system, at the time it was implemented, and the cons, traffic congestion over connecting the nation both economically, culturally, etc etc is pretty small beans
