Editorial: When legislators discover that some public service is not being adequately provided, their most common response is to boost the funding for that public service. Because of this, the least efficiently run government bureaucracies are the ones that most commonly receive an increase in funds.

Summary

Legislators usually boost funding for a public service whenever it’s discovered that that public service isn’t being adequately provided. Therefore, the least efficiently run government bureaucracies are the ones that usually receive increased funding.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

The least efficiently run government bureaucracies are usually discovered by legislators to not provide a public service adequately.

A
The least efficiently run government bureaucracies are the bureaucracies that legislators most commonly discover to be failing to provide some public service adequately.

If the least efficient bureaucracies are the bureaucracies that most commonly receive funding, these bureaucracies must most commonly receive increased funding.

B
When legislators discover that a public service is not being adequately provided, they never respond to the problem by reducing the funding of the government bureaucracy providing that service.

We don’t know whether legislators never respond by reducing funding. We only know that their most common response is to increase funding.

C
Throughout the time a government bureaucracy is run inefficiently, legislators repeatedly boost the funding for the public service that this bureaucracy provides.

We don’t know whether legislators repeatedly increase funding throughout their response. It is possible that legislators choose to increase funding for a public service just once.

D
If legislators boost funding for a public service, the government bureaucracy providing that service will commonly become less efficient as a result.

We don’t know whether bureaucracies receiving increased funding become less efficient as a result. It is possible that the remedy of increased funding works and these bureaucracies become more efficient than they once were.

E
The most inefficiently run government bureaucracy receives the most funding of any government bureaucracy.

We don’t know whether inefficient bureaucracies receive more funding compared to any other bureaucracy. It is possible that inefficient bureaucracies receiving increased funding still receive less funding overall.
