Sorry, but yes. Private clouds do exist. Can't say where due to NDAs and other legal handcuffs.
The US Government could cut some of their expenditures in half if they did this rather than fight to go to the cloud like AWS.
But that will take some smart people while the only people going in to politics look to line their pockets and you have to wonder who's funding their campaigns.
