It's less political will than not having simple competence in any arena other than the political that got them there. Throwing gobs at cash at a broken system

It's less political will than not having simple competence in any arena other than the political that got them there. Throwing gobs at cash at a broken system is what keeps Congress employed. If we had an unemployment system that didn't try to use "one size fits all" numbers, required two minutes on your phone to get enrolled, and two minutes on the employers' part to verify your application, then we wouldn't have have need of a significant number of government employees, and Congress's role wouldn't exist to posture about caring, but instead to simply fund a functioning system simply needed cash.

The U.S. Census, GAO, and various other bureaucratic organizations (USDR, EPA, etc), all seem to be quite competent when it comes to performing studies and gathering data. So is the IRS, Department of Defense, etc. Of course there are lots of problems, but the U.S. Federal Government has plenty of agencies able to competently perform some sort of study.
