Whats really funny is when people complain about campaigns to reduce or eliminate Government inefficiencies the outcry is always about killing frontline services or people.
Government wastes money left, right and centre and that outcry is largely disingenuous.
Government's operate on the premise that money is never an object as theres always more of it and when it finally gets tight they look for more Revenue streams (taxes) as opposed to focusing inwards and determining if there are things they dont need to spend money on.
The opposite side of the ledger.
As burn_this_city alludes to, they could have been saving this money 5 years ago, they just didnt because they didnt feel they had to.
This is the kind of thing many have been clamoring for, at all levels of Government, ever since the economic downturn became painfully obvious.
