Yes, I agree and see now that I made a bad choice of words there.

Correcting it I would rephrase it to say that massive components of society are directly facilitated by the government as one example: (roads -> shipped goods, travel experiences, etc)

How do you like that the roads previous generations paid for are now being turned into bike lanes, that you pay to park, etc.

Did the government make the right decisions then? Are they making the right decisions now?

Well, roads are temporary and it becomes a bit of a ship of Theseus question there to say who actually paid for them.

Government is allowed to occasionally make the wrong decision. Perfection is an imperfect standard.
