<p>[quote user="henry6"]</p> <p>Big business does have cost over runs, they just don't talk about it.</p> <p>And I don't understand about private people doing public works...that has always been that way. Public oversight and supervision with 99% of the job contracted out to design and construction. Too many governments, etc. are involved in something to have any one of them be the contractor, so it has to be sent out to private industry to do the work. </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am not quite sure what your point is, but I will point out that just because the public sector work is performed by private sector business, it does not mean that resulting cost overruns are examples of private sector cost overrun and/or inefficiencies. It is the public sector that is in the driver's seat on these public sector projects, even though private sector business is performing the actual tasks.</span></span></p>
