wrong, the National Highway Act was for military purposes
Eisenhower's support of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 can be directly attributed to his experiences in 1919 as a participant in the U.S. Army's first Transcontinental Motor Convoy across the United States on the historic Lincoln Highway, which was the first road across America. The highly publicized 1919 convoy was intended, in part, to dramatize the need for better main highways and continued federal aid. The convoy left the Ellipse south of the White House in Washington D.C. on July 7, 1919, and headed for Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. From there, it followed the Lincoln Highway to San Francisco. Bridges cracked and were rebuilt, vehicles became stuck in mud, and equipment broke, but the convoy was greeted warmly by communities across the country. The convoy reached San Francisco on September 6, 1919. (even if my statement for military purposes is wrong, it still says nothing about economic recovery)
Ladios:
Let me guess, copy pasted from wikipedia.
One of the advantages for the highway system was that it created a new area for people to work in. It gave people jobs.
More jobs = path to economic recovery.
Seriously dude, I don't know why you are so intent on stuffting over everyone.

HAHA charter schools, really? So you're basing the quality education off some committee's purse strings, I take it.
