Rather then use old technology that screws up the nice USA countryside view, why not use these big fat government contracts to establish some new and better technology?

Some of it already has been done. Copper could be used, and maybe other materials -g-

This could be an opportunity to improve all sorts of things, not just bin the old concept of using internal combustion engines to make the economy happen. I think it's very dumb and boring to send freight up and down very expensive freeways.

Let driving the car be left for leisure activities only. You can probably lay a dozen rail tracks in the same space as a three lane freeway, probably for less cost and maintenance.

Freight should be sent by underground vacuum tunnels anyway, aka air freight, but without the expensive technology of having to fly.

Lest we forget great prophecies.

"Owners of capital will stimulate working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks which will have to be nationalized and State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism."

Karl Marx, 1867
