but his department had to \"spend the budget\" or they would have had the budget reduced. Yes, that's the thinking... if you don't use the money you are given, they (logically) will reduce what you get next year, so you had best spend what you're given. I don't think the 'free press' has any idea...
In fact, this mentality takes place at everything that is government funded. I have personally seen it happen at over a dozen public organizations, school boards, transit, federal buildings, provincial buildings, and others. I always thought this was the norm, not the exception.
In defense of those people doing it, they are right, its use it or lose it, if they need the money most years but dont need it one year, they will never get it back when they need it. The system is flawed from the top down, not the bottom up.

Right, so fire half of them. Just flat out across the board, and let the rest take up the slack. If the ones left over don't like it, give that job to someone who was cut.
I need to be supreme ruler.
