Governments do this easily don't they, because it isn't their money they are spending.
It is misallocation of resources. Due to the monopoly position of a government, they can extract money from the population without providing good service for it.
I have never seen them face repercussions either. They just shrug and everyone forgets about it, as though burning millions of dollars is like spare change that goes missing between cushions on the sofa.
And the business makes out like bandits.. and is sure to send over a few 'campaign donations', to keep the filthy lucre flowing in future.

This is the system that steals our labor. I didn't see it when I was a young lefty.
