because in the US it is all about political power, all projects are not about solving the issue being worked on but how to reward the most people that will contribute to your and your parties political power. the amount of money being directed towards friends and fellow politicians is staggering. An example in Atlanta was a politician friends with those of the same party works in another county but serves on advisement boards for the city as a sole employee of those boards netting him hundreds of thousands a year. It only came to light because he screwed up the taxes. This is wide spread, as in nation wide. All those committees and such are mostly there to reward each other, family, and friends. China just eliminated having any competing political power. They have factions within but all serve the same top.
