That the government was able to accomplish these things...

isn't evidence that they were successes.

Example - rural electrification. Sure, it got done. But wouldn't it have been done anyway my the private sector? Wasn't there enough demand for electricity? Weren't Westinghouse and Edison and Co offering competing forms of electricity (DC and AC) for sale, profitably? Wouldn't the private sector have gotten the job done at about half the cost, since they had good reason to save money, while the government has incentives to waste money?
