Hopefully it will be structured and managed differently than the WPA
projects that Roosevelt initiated.
I was reading recently that problems with them included waste,
inefficiency, cost overruns and late schedules.
Because it was a federally backed program designed to hire unemployed
workers, the jobsite foremen had no authority to discipline or fire
slackers.

That's bad news because when some can sit on their asses and still get
paid, it affects the rest.



You think waste, inefficiency, cost overruns and late schedules are
exclusive to federally backed programs? You think private corporations
don't have the same problems?

Who fired the slackers on wall street that were mainly responsible for the
fiscal crisis we are in now?


That's not was I was referring to, but since you brought it up:

Assume two major projects or programs. One is funded by the federal
government.
The other is privately funded by the corporation doing the work.

Which one is more likely to become inefficient, incur cost over-runs and be
late?
