5th-largest privately owned company in the US.

I shoulda known.
Halliburton and Betchel, hand in glove with the govrnment..actually OWNS the government.

"The Bechtel family has owned Bechtel since incorporating the company in 1945. Bechtel's size, its political clout, and its penchant for privacy have made it a constant subject of scrutiny for journalists and politicians since the 1930s. Bechtel owns and operates power plants, oil refineries, water systems, and airports in several countries including the United States, Turkey, and the United Kingdom."
