  3. The engineering feats of it are rightly touted. This mostly focuses on the political aspects. Don't buy the "privatization" scam: the propaganda is that cutting gov't employees can result in tax cuts. In reality it means paying greater amounts of taxpayer money to private corporations. So privatization costs the taxpayer more. And it introduces cost overruns and contract corruption.
