Mr. Gilchrist agrees that government products aided his ability to manage a business, but forgets to mention the police, firemen, and paramedics that are likely to be part of his peace of mind in case he needs aid in an emergency. It is also well known that gas taxes do not keep up with the amount of money needed to maintain the federal highways and the GOP thinks so little of gas taxes that they continuously call for dropping them altogether and putting the federal roads on the general fund taxpayer's back. The military is also important in keeping any product that Mr. Gilchrist might obtain from overseas available though I don't like the idea of killing people for natural resources at any price. So, yeah, the president has a point as even Mr. Gilchrist acknowledges if in a more constrained fashion than maybe he should.
