To the Editor:
There was a time when this country could send a man to the moon, build a transcontinental railroad, build a Hoover Dam and span the country with superhighways. Now all we do is cut and shrink, cut and shrink.
Less money for research, education, high-speed rail. Small people with small ideas.
I hope that I am wrong, but it certainly looks as if America’s best days are behind it. Very depressing.

Note from KBJ: I suspect that expenditures on research, education, and high-speed rail are at an all-time high, both in the aggregate and per capita. What more does the letter writer want?
