PPP was a ton of small bets, with rampant fraud and waste (and a stupid fundamental idea).

The EV chargers were supposed to fund hundreds of stations in each of the 50 states: only a few dozen were built in 4 years.

If the government focuses on one big project, like the SLS, it becomes rife with pork and clumsily slow.

But there’s hardly a better track record with splitting a program up among applicants or states (see SNAP, rampant fraud in “autism” services, PPP, or homelessness in California)
