You have to much faith in those processes. Organizations in government budgets' are based on last year's budget. If the OU spends last year's budget or more, their budget is increased (because they account for inflation). If they spend less, their budget is decreased. So there is a built in incentive to spend money, and anyone can find ways to justify spending money to improve their OU. GAOs merely verify the paperwork is in order. Don't misunderstand me. This isn't an argument against government; it's an argument against this budgeting model. There has to be a way they to structure private sector budgeting efficiency into public organizations.
