Reagan may have been the last president I supported most of the time

In Heaven, pursuing dangerously liberal ideas, like the interstate

system, desegregation, and Earl Warren.

He did remark before stepping on the rainbow that Warren was the
biggest mistake in his career. That interstate highway thing was a
little something he picked up from the National Socialists when he was
vacationing in Germany.

Nope, he realised the problem in the USA well before that.

"Eisenhower also gained an appreciation of the Reichsautobahn system,
the first "national" implementation of modern Germany's Autobahn
network, as a necessary component of a national defense system while he
was serving as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe during World
War II"

My family and I drove from New York State to Seattle in 1952, for the
most part on the Lincoln Highway. It was a little better than
Eisenhower's experience but not much. Coming back on 66 was a bit
different.

We used to drive to Florida on 301, 15 and 17. It took 2 1/2 days.
(20+ hours on the road) I could do it in 15 hours on I-95.
