It damn sure wasn't meant for what we do now. Just like the interstate highway system that people throw into this argument for some crazy reason. It was built by Eisenhower to be able to move large military vehicles across the country in case of nuclear war.
And who cares anyway? Yes, the govt does do lots of great things. But for every good dollar they spend, they waste and overspend a billion more.
