Yglesias discusses it, and disagrees with me.
I think:
FDR built asphalt and gravel roads, 500,000 miles of them according to a reference I now forget. At the time the economy looked to central government for transportation, maybe a bad mistake by the economy, but it was an expectation that came out of central government's role in railroads. It worked until 1936, when the fascist uprising caused a double dip.
