Governments at all levels tend to do things the opposite of good financial practice. In a “free market” it’s survival of the fittest. Even multi-nationals have to cull the fat from the executive ranks when the balance sheet and the banks say so. Government does not behave the same way with the People’s money. This is what happens when you get career politicians who have never been responsible for business, payroll, a medical or dental practice and only work in theories of economy. The reality of economy won the 2024 Presidential election. Government wastes the People’s money because it is just a budget. Every project is important. They just need more employees under their control and an even bigger budget. We have municipalities penalizing construction crews for not finishing projects in time, as opposed to providing incentives to finish earlier.
