Don't want to sidetrack this thread, but what about infrastructure? Should the govt spend money on roads, canals, highways etc?
I would argue that there is Biblical warrant for the state spending money on roads, as there needed to be roads between the cities of refuge in Israel and so people could get to towns were justice was administered.
how about building roads as a means to facilitate commerce and economic prosperity?
