Infrastructure

It is time to develop a precise meaning of the term 'infrastructure.' This term did not appear in educational texts until 1927. But an infrastructure of the USA appeared on July 4, 1776, when the USA became a new nation. Alexander Hamilton proposed new infrastructure to the USA with his 'Report on Manufactures' to Congress in 1791. (click) Hamilton's report was called the American System of economy by Henry Clay. (click) With science, the American System produces population growth and increases productivity continually. By 1777, the Articles of Confederation added new infrastructure to the USA in order to ease commerce among the States. (click) In 1788, a Constitution appeared and added more infrastructure to the USA. As time passed, President Lincoln added new infrastructure to the USA by developing new industries for the Southern States and multiplied the population of the West by developing homesteading. In the 19th century, new infrastructure, such as coal mining to heat all homes, roads, bridges, rail lines, and other public works, were added to the USA. And in the 20th century, new infrastructure, such as electricity, reservoirs, schools, telephones, space communications, radio and TV, etc. were added to the nation. As seen, a nation adds new infrastructure continuously.

Modern scientists found infrastructure among small and large things. For instance, today's physical scientists refer to infrastructure as 'a structure of physical particles.' Since none of these small physical particles have never been found to be free and without a structure, the infrastructure that God used to create things is very complex. On large things, Kepler found the infrastructure of the first six planets with Plato's five solid geometries. More recently, I have found the infrastructure of the Spirits that God made.

From the nation's earliest days, Congress has struggled with the fundamental issue of the national government's proper role in fostering economic development. Henry Clay's "American System," devised in the burst of nationalism that followed the War of 1812, remains one of the most historically significant examples of a government-sponsored program to harmonize and balance the nation's agriculture, commerce, and industry. This "System" consisted of three mutually re enforcing parts: a tariff to protect and promote American industry; a national bank to foster commerce; and federal subsidies for roads, canals, and other "internal improvements" to develop profitable markets for agriculture. Funds for these subsidies would be obtained from tariffs and sales of public lands. Clay argued that a vigorously maintained system of sectional economic interdependence would eliminate the chance of renewed subservience to the free-trade, laissez-faire "British System." In the years from 1816 to 1828, Congress enacted programs supporting each of the American System's major elements. After the 1829 inauguration of President Andrew Jackson's administration, with its emphasis on a limited role for the federal government and sectional autonomy, the American System became the focus of anti-Jackson opposition that coalesced into the new Whig party under the leadership of Henry Clay. (click) The opponents of the American System said these words below about Clay:

"The Monkey System or Every One For Himself Henry Clay says "Walk in and see the new improved grand original American System!" The cages are labeled: "Home, Consumption, Internal, Improv". This 1831 cartoon ridiculing Clay's American System depicts monkeys, labeled as being different parts of a nation's economy, stealing each other's resources (food)with commentators describing it as either great or a humbug.

I conclude that the words above about Clay and the American System are ignorant. I also conclude that the British System is impotent with respect to the development of new infrastructure for the USA and its Spirits. For instance, who is solving the problem of cancer? A free market economies and the top 2% householders are hiding their limits.
