That's fine for most budgeting. This isn't one of them. Why? Because the monies being spent are taxes. There is a moral imperative to not waste a single cent of taxpayer monies, which means you as the guy writing the budget must ask what every single cent is being spent towards and must claw back (and subsequently refuse to budget) any pennies that are either unaccounted for or are unwarranted. (Yes, tax dollars are wasted and deliberately so in reality. That is another subject of debate.) Hence why the incentives are the way they are.
