All government spending is a waste, as it should be. Governments should not be in the business of making profit, after all they are bad at it. They are in the business of creating the “raw materials” for wide development like infrastructure, educated citizens, research, ensuring fair game (by legislating and enforcing), protecting their resources with military. The more left wing folks, are also interested in providing directly for the ones in need.
As long as the spending is in these directions is good for the country, KPIs be damned.
