That is literally the point.
Welfare = Welfare bureaucracy + Welfare Benefits
This is true of everything the government does. Government = bureaucracy + benefits, with a larger percentage going to support the bureaucracy than in any other organization or context.
And even if you increase money for benefits, the same (or sometimes larger percentage) goes to supporting the bureaucracy of those benefits.
It's not hard.
> you'd see the vast mmajority of tax revenue is spent on welfare
That is the point from the prior comment I am supporting. I am emphasizing that this is true because of the inevitability of bureaucracy inside of the very notion of "government".
Government was never capable of efficient utilization of taxes for maximizing benefits to society. It can never promise that due to basic incentive structures and the mathematics of game-theory. Of course, politicians can lie about it (and many do all the time).
It can only promise an attempt and some degree of benefits provided.
