Some people think that, if you require a department to cut spending by 10 percent, they will cut the inefficient people and spending items. However, in most departments, they will do the exact opposite. They will eliminate the most efficient parts of the department, and then, when they are criticized for not performing, they will blame it on the mandated cuts and ask for more money. In Government, there is no profit or efficiency motive. The name of the game is to spend as much taxpayer money as you can get.
