"In reality, we've had more spending, more bureaucracy, more waste and higher costs but without necessary reform nor rising productivity."

Previous Quote

But [in bureaucracies], too, decision making takes place in a world full of unceratinties. Any actual system of information processing, planning and control will never be optimal but merely practical, applying rote responses to recurrent problems and employing a variety of contingency tactics to deal with unforeseen events.
