The problem is rarely lack of funding but rather a complete lack of work ethic.

I’ve known people that have worked at the DMV on a temporary basis and they would get in trouble every time they got work done because they made regular people look bad.

The idea is is that if you can not fire a person, department, agency or whatever but you’re forced to use them than the end result will often be bad.

Basically the exact same reasons that most people hate HOAs.
