I guess we should give up the A-bomb. It has to be worthless because all government projects are bad and all private sector projects are good. I am so sick of all you corporate sycophants.

Your thinking is muddled. Corporations are creatures of government, established and operated under rules and regulations set by the government. During WWI the government utterly dominated the economic life of the country and government administrators found a relatively few corporations easier to administrate that a host of mom and pop operations.
If you were to actually dislike corporations, as do I, you would lobby for a "the only Legal Person is a Natural Person with no exceptions" law. Take care of the whole thing overnight.
Corporations go way, way back, before 1000 AD in England, for example. Formation of corporations has always been the prerogative of the Sovereign and used for political management.

There's a difference in the A-bomb project and a 'broad federal effort' to create jobs. The A-bomb was a specific project with a specific goal. The government's efforts at improving education have been proven failures for the last 60 years or so. Why should I think they will change now?
