Blog Mirror: NPR Politics, Mitch Landrieu, The Man Biden Hopes Can Rebuild America, Bring Broadband To Millions

 Interesting episode of NPR's politics which actually has a somewhat deceptive caption:

Mitch Landrieu, The Man Biden Hopes Can Rebuild America, Bring Broadband To Millions

This discussion on the Internet having become a necessity is probably correct.  It's also, frankly, at least to me personally, depressing.

The comparisons to the Eisenhower Defense Highway funding or the New Deal programs is interesting.  The comparison that came to my mind was with the cooperation with the railroads to build the Transcontinental Railway, which I guess is something we've just forgotten about. An interesting example, I suppose, of the American System.
