> Exactly. They failed, so they get more budget. Happens with nearly all government projects No it doesn't. Programs are cut or cancelled outright all the time. The important question is not whether they're failing or succeeding but whether they're believed to be necessary. Projects that are necessary get more funding if they are failing, like schools. Well duh. Projects that are succeeding and have budget left get trimmed. Again, duh. Projects that are unnecessary or no longer necessary get cut regardless of budget. That's just good governance. The same pattern happens in the economy.
