Why Government Can’t Build
The government promised to expand broadband, build hundreds of thousands of EV chargers and to bring back semiconductor jobs.
John Stossel reports that they, instead, delivered delays, waste and failure. Why? Because they spend your money, not their own. After three years and $65 billion spent to expand broadband, not a single person has yet been connected. Also, two years into Biden’s $7.5 billion EV charging stations initiative, which was supposed to build 500,000 stations, only seven have been built.
When bureaucrats spend other people’s money, they have little incentive to spend it carefully. Stossel explains why government should leave building things to the private sector.
