      Yeah it’s wild that the US government will fund private projects without getting the same bonds or shares that private investors would expect.

      Growth in an industry drives tax growth, job growth, and wage growth. Furthermore initiatives like this one insulate the country from strategic holes. The US goverment and tax payers most certainly get dividends on investment.
