Why don't we have enterprises named like that anymore, named like Great Indian Peninsular Railway, instead of NASA or Freddie Mac (Freddie Mac sounds like something you'd find in a high school cafeteria, doesn't it?)? Of course, we never did have a Great Indian Peninsular Railway—it was British. But still. Why can't we have one?
And by the way, I ran across someone recently suggesting we should stop talking about "infrastructure" (even Elizabeth Warren does that) and start talking about "public works" again, which is the same thing but a whole lot better. I agree.
