What happened was this.

"Ike" was spending 12.5% of GDP(Gross Domestic Product) a year on Infrastructure and Taxing Rich People up to 90% of their income. Population about 165 million people.

As of 2009 (or about then) we were barley spending 2.5% of our GDP on Infrastructure and rich people are only paying a 17% Capitol gains tax. Population about 310 million.


Infrastructure back during "Ike" was not just roads and bridges, but electrical grid, water systems,sewer systems,phone company(we used to have one)schools,hospitals,libraries,court houses, and medical clinics. Yes "Ike" was going to provide actual Health Care to people not some phony health insurance company scam(Insurance is a racket). It was gone by about 1965 or so. Oh Yea Cats and Dogs were living together in the same house.
