Like an airport in a town of 2,000 that nobody uses, but ensure the Congressman will get reelected?

I could only imagine the abuse with a gov't directed jobs program!

And things like that don't happen in the private sector?

If a company builds something useless, it's not my money, so I don't care. Gov't projects spend tax money, so I care.

I would much rather have another airport built than another prison.

I would much rather have an affordable public transit system built than another airport.
