This is a classic. It is why there are vastly underfunded and understaffed "programs" for so many things, politicians love the "we have a program for that" dodge.

Every so often they do an "accountability" audit of the underfunded and understaffed "programs", find them lacking and fire a few civil servants, put new ones in place and continue underfunding and understaffing with a "new management" that will make it all better....
