That is itself one of the root problems of society, and a good example of where government should (imho), and in fact does in some cases (FDA, USDA) have a role in regulation (do things as cheaply as you can, but maintain this standard).

Except, there are humans in these jobs with no incentive to do things cheaply in the first place. What are your incentives if you can't get fired if you mess up and you can't get wealthy by being good at your job? Your incentive becomes making your job easy in many cases. It's hard to keep saving money every year, so if you do manage to do it one year, departments typically find another way to waste their leftover money so they don't have to work hard to save the same money next year.

I'm sorry if this isn't how it's suppossed to work, but it's how things actually do work, and its the root of why government is inherently less efficient.
