This is typical of the public sector, lots of money from tax payers and over spending with no accountability.
No wonder why we can't keep our debt under control.
I have many friends and acquaintances working for the federal government in different sectors, from DoD, to education, housing and health and the stories are similar, outrageous budgets that go to waste and practices that sound borderline ilegal.
There's no common goal or long term vision and everyone is aiming at their promotion to the next pay bracket.
For service providers there's also no incentive to be efficient and deliver the best results because public contracts are not necessarily assigned to the most capable organizations, all you need is the right connections and once you are in you keep getting projects.
