Unfortunately, gov't like big corps has grown so big its out of control. Rush made a good point today that gov't and big corps are the same in that they both "have" to spend what they got this year so they can get it next year. If you've ever worked for a large company you've heard this every year at the end of the year. You wouldn't run your household like this and small companies don't do this either. I work for a fortune 500 company which the largest of its kind in the world and they operate just like the article you have linked. For instance, I work nights and my monday is sunday night. On holidays like memorial and labor day the payroll department (which is entirely computerized for ease) cannot figure out how to pay me for monday holidays since the actual holiday starts at 7 am monday. I'm sure its only a few keystrokes but, virtually impossible. My department spends literally 100's of thousands on repair and maintenance when purchasing new would only be in the 10's of thous. They spent over 100,000$ on repairs of a 15 yd dump truck in a two year period and it still probably only worth $20,000. Why? Because new is not in the budget, but repairs and maintenance is. And on and on. So you see it is so ingrained in the mentality of business and gov't leaders that it can't be stopped.
