I dunno he kinda makes a point...
Public school systems work the same way. Services provided by the government paid for by the people (truly a socialist construct) result in these issues simply because, per year, there is no way to say, "okay you have $1 bil for the next 20 years," because it may be too much or may not be enough.. budgets are set every year only to be constantly readjusted to match the end of year goal. Everything is dependent on the appearance of need. If a department doesn't appear to need anything, they can probably live with less... If they don't keep their budgetary requirements up then they get slashed left and right until there is nothing left.
With that said it also causes bloat and overspending to end up with more money the following year and that is why fiscal conservatives are pissed at things like the BoE and their take on public schooling. Yeah, it sucks, but how do you control a system as large as it is when there is no one there to take the reins? As Shiftin is saying, the human condition (in terms of work ethics) appears to be more along the lines of survive, not thrive.
