Why would you pay a private company to build highways? I can't think of a job more suited to a public agency. Next your going to tell me how great tolls are.

- zjaffee 8y agoHow do you think roads get built? The vast majority these sorts of projects are built by contractors, where the public largely just employs full-time workers for the design/finance side of things and then also maintenance.
- bradleyjg 8y agoCivil service rules make it very difficult for the government to hire people for limited periods of time. What would the government do with highway construction workers after the job was done? Sure there might be another project three states away, but it’s not reasonable to tell workers they have to move every few years.
