Standard operating procedure for the Lessors of the State (LOSt) formerly known as the Grand Ol' Party. We the lessee see no return for our investment. The members of LOSt operative on a belief in the supernatural being called "MARKET" which operates its magic via an "INVISIBLE HAND" through divine creation. This core belief of LOSt alienates the members of this group from the actual "marketplace" which is comprised of a hierarchy that operates as a reverse funnel. Wealth flows to the top like water. Nobody cares because its magic. "The market is flat" and i know this is so because "it's turtles all the way down" and if not that, than flying spaghetti monsters set the price index, and not humans who sit on top of corporate and class hierarchies. In this case syphoning off tax dollars from government agencies produces efficiency just like the stars produced the carnal scourge, through the supernatural ectoplasm that set off the radioactive thought glasses, that motivated the actions performed by humans. Members of LOSt can be found taking communion in churches misnamed thinktanks.
