The money gets wasted because many of them don't view it as real money that hard working people actually worked for and earned. It becomes like Monopoly money to them.
I think everyone should work in a Federal Government agency for a period of time in their lives,
then they might have a quite different outlook on government run healthcare when they see the inefficiency and waste!
