It seems reasonable, though, to observe that some areas of government spending seem to largely get funnelled into contracts with the private sector where a great deal of money is spent, yet the actual problem is seemingly never fixed. An example of this is L.A.'s "homeless industry"; billions of dollars are spent, yet the problem gets worse and worse. Eventually, one considers that the purpose of the system is what it does - create cushy jobs for those administering the private-sector agencies that receive the lion's share of this government spending, away from any public accountability.
