That's how it starts. Then contractors or unions discover that it's a huge funding source and you get bridges to nowhere, projects that used to finish on time take longer and cost more than claimed but you can't fix it because the contractors or unions are now a large constituency, member states realize that this can be used as a mechanism to spend money collected from taxpayers of a different member state so the number and scope of the projects expands etc. etc.
