What I always find amusing about this: the Federal Audit Office points out obvious waste and clearly recognizable abuses. But has a government ever actually eliminated these as a result? Has a government ever drawn the logical conclusion and pulled out the Federal Audit Office's list when considering savings and put these points right at the top?
Nope. Instead, each new government term finds new ways to strip benefits from citizens and then still manages to sell it as a great innovation. And voters are dumb enough to let them get away with it.
