Yeah, you ain’t wrong. Honestly I think, and this is from having spent many years working as a local gov employee or as a contractor with local gov, the budget system. I mean the gov trying to be involved in all the shit they are is really the main problem, but if they’d run each dept on a sink or swim basis and let them basically provide whatever service they’re providing and if it doesn’t turn enough revenue it gets closed down you’d see a lot less of this. But in the current system, what happens is at the end of the year everybody finds random shit to upgrade or spend money on so they use up all of their budget and can argue for more on the next round. If they don’t use it, their budget gets reduced. It’s really a system that encourages massive amounts of waste, because even a good dept head in a libertarian or anarchist sense is stuck, because maybe he had a year where he didn’t have to spend much of his budget but he knows next year likely won’t be the same, and instead of being able to maintain his budget the people above him would take it from him, and then lay the blame on him the next year when he was operating on a deficit.
