Oleg AtbashianWhy is there never a headline that says "Government program ends as its intended goal has been achieved"?
About This Quote
Many people claim that they hate government programs, but when is the last time you heard about a program being ended because it had accomplished its mission? In fact, when is the last time you heard about a program being ended because it no longer had a mission? Of course, there are always problems in government programs—and even in private ones—but there is still a tendency to let a program go on and on in the hopes that it will eventually end up achieving its goal.
