[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 1004467, member: 6459"] It's a non-profit incentive problem more than a gov't one, though gov't is the largest nonprofit. Zero incentive to *reduce* revenue or costs unless something really goes wrong, since it doesn't turn into more profit for you or your stakeholders. But lots of (ego, PR, etc) incentives to make the top-line revenue numbers bigger even if it's not moving the needle on your original goals. Even in the for-profit world there's something very similar in competitive things (especially sports) where the keeping-up-with-the-Joneses becomes an end to itself. Spend $X to bring in $X more? No more profit, but good numbers to brag about, and if your competitor doesn't do it (like making fancier locker rooms) then they fall behind. [/QUOTE]
