It's not that fixing the auctions is easy. It's that it's not interesting. There's no story. There's no us vs. them. People would prefer the President eliminating some pointless subsidy without a thought to someone slaving for months on a computer perfecting the software for selling bonds and ideal prices.
It depends. I don't know how it's in the USA, but in Eastern Europe where I come from, it's an open secret that a lot of auctions are rigged, or at least the information is only published in obscure (or almost fictional) newspapers to guarantee that only the privileged people will know about it in time.
