Most of that happened down south and is called the TVA (Tennessee Valley
Authority). The TVA turned out to be a very strategic resource - it
provided massive amounts of power to the Oak Ridge uranium refining

The Hoover Dam in Nevada and the Grand Coulee dam in Washington state
were also built at about the same time. The Grand Coulee Dam provided
massive amounts of electric power to the Hanford plutonium refining
facility.

If the Tea Party had been running the country back then,
these "socialist" projects would never have happened.

And Ron Paul supporters are all for closing down the TVA.

One wonders if these people ever think about the consequences of what
they are demanding ...
