I have heard similar stories, not only from within the US. But, is this the way a government *has* to work? > It is bureaucratic. It does things that do not make sense to any > rational person.

Departments within larger private businesses sometimes have the same problem. The issue is not the fact that it is a government organization it is its size. The farther away and the less directly connnected a person is who decides over a budget the worse it gets. But, is there no way to provide incentives to a person within a government organization to make sensible decisions?
