The idea is that we just don't have enough productivity to sustain slightly longer roads, and live in the same houses we used to have on farms in 1920s is insulting to reader's intelligence.

Meanwhile the city of Austin debt service is 5% of its budget, and Austin's debt per capita is $1,287.

Some Ponzi.
