I was saying it more Toungue in Cheek than anything....I do tend to be a smart ass at time.
Yeah, common sense dictates thats how they should think but, as I said before, its how the governments do budgeting that is the real problem.
If the feds give a town 5 million to the police force and the force this year says that we are good, we only need $500k here's the rest back, now next year the funds come out and the town gets $500k....but they need 2 million....the government says Welll you made do with $500k last year thats all we're giving you this year, sorry.
So the way the towns/states think is Heck, They gave us 5 million we sure as hell are going to spend it on something so they will give us the same next year.
so is it going to be on sno-cone machines or on an APC's?
The government needs to learn to budget on an "As Needed" basis...and they need to learn how to speed the process up.
