Some on, when was the last time any entity guessed right on the cost of a project????
If I'm comparing government's project management and budgetary prowess against commercial industry's ability to plan and execute efficiently, I'll take commercial industry any day of the week. Government isn't going to go broke...and they now that. Commercial industry OTOH knows exactly what they can and can't afford and will hold to their plans much more than government, which can continue to throw money at the problem even if it doesn't make fiscal sense.
