<p>[QUOTE=&quot;invictus, post: 335559, member: 9973&quot;]It gets much much worse.. at the end of the Government&#039;s fiscal year, there is a rush by the program/financial personnel to spend every bit of money that hasn&#039;t yet been wasted. Money they don&#039;t obligate goes back to the Treasury, and this money is considered &quot;lost.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Even &quot;worse,&quot; if they can&#039;t spend all of this year&#039;s expiring appropriations, they might get less to spend next year because someone will figure they&#039;re overfunded. Can&#039;t let that happen! Not when dollars obligated is THE resume builder (vs $ saved, or value acquired), and more obligations = bigger programs = more personnel needed = higher pay grades for their managers..</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people in the Gov care about the money, but many others are highly incentivized to squander it ruthlessly. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is why I say when there&#039;s a chance to stop some bleeding, take it. Kill the money-losing denominations. Every bit helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
