mark Ronnie's words as an axiom and watch the progress over 10 years. if they get 1/10th of it done in ten years they'll be lucky. in fact, it has the high possibility of becoming another "Democrat Solyndra"

I’ll be the first to admit that government is not as efficient as it could be but Reagan’s axiom as you put it is definitely not true. After disasters the government response is almost always welcomed. Whether in the form of the national guard, rescue workers, fire and police response, housing assistance, or federal insurance payments.
Not to mention the programs that would never get done without government assistance.
Like the manhattan project, nasa, the heavy press program, mine safety, aeronautics, gps, the internet, telephony, the nuclear industry, the federal highway system. I could go on.
Vilifying government seems to be a national pastime for some but in my opinion we need better government not less government.
