One does wonder why they would be "different" from "normal" people. Or why their organizations wouldn't operate by the laws of economic common sense: when times are lean, you have to make cuts. No exceptions.

You know what kind of businesses don't follow the rules? Ones that fail. Only the government magically can continue to go into more and more massive debt. The reason is that a new boss will get hired on a periodic basis, so there is no accountability.

Unless the people actually wanted accountability.

Yet somehow we have people arguing FOR bad decisions.

I cannot comprehend the logic.
