The problem is that this is the solution that everyone gives for everything - whether it's in education or health care or the court system (which if you want to talk about backed up, good God are the courts backed up) - it's always "just give us more money and hire more people, that's the solution". I mean, okay, I agree, a sudden injection of cash probably would help, but when literally every public service seems to be in the same boat and everyone has their hand out waiting for more funding... what do you actually expect is going to happen?
