"But we simply don't enjoy the growth and prosperity of the 60s and 70s without the GI Bill or the National Hway System."
What??
The National Highway system has been a disastrous waste. The government roads are incredibly dangerous and often times congested. Not too mention that the govt didn't create the asphalt and paint from thin air to construct those roads. You realize that, right? All govt can do is redirect purchasing power. It is not a magical entity.
As for the GI bill, its legacy of centralizing education has obviously been mired by a generation now strapped in higher education debt. If you want to kill an economy, the best way is to drive many of the individuals into grinding debt.
