RealClearPolicy- Feds Spend $1 Billion Helping Kids Walk to School

In the old days, we used to walk to school without too many problems and definitely did not need help. just put one foot in front of the other and eventually one will get there. But now that central government has decided to get involved, $1 billion dollars have been spent on this boondoggle.

The problem is that there have always been local groups that have handled issues surrounding this and schools have also been involved. The problem is that once the over reaching central government gets involved, it crowds out local partners and participants and people come to expect that the leviathan will take care of it instead of it being a community and neighborhood issue as it should be.
