    This is the international norm. The closest to government control has been China’s State Owned Enterprises, but even then China pushed these to be run as private companies without the protections afforded to employees that they would have as government employees. China also created SOE’s as the local market didn’t have the local experience to build the initial projects.

    Government operation of part of the construction industry is very low on the public’s list of things that need to be done and it isn’t exactly certain that the control will produce cheaper projects.

      All I did was notice that “that won’t change anytime soon” is said frequently by Democrats.

          So you’re responding to my comment about broader context by acting like I was talking about this one thing. Ok.
