I always thought that it has to do with how things are handled and the responsabilty of the ones that handle them. Control, monitorizing and resposabilty depurations are a must when handling public fundings. The more people who must account for them the less likely to find those black holes. Public workers are just average citizens so if public service is bad, corrupt and/or incompetent is mostly a reflection of the culture of the country, way of life and education.
I find amuzing and depressing that it looks like that we are willingly giving control over our lifes, rights, freedoms, education etc but when it comes to our money things change. This is what I found a complete hipocrisy about not supporting taxes. Dont giving a fuck what they do with everything except our income.
If I have learned something from my working life is that people dont do things willingly if they are even the slights bother so having a supra conciousness (or moral form) is needed to force individuals to do what somehow majority feels as right. As every other thing mankind makes it has its pros and cons. Here they made what I think is a good move by forcing parents to school they children until the age of 16 and if they are found out to pay a nice fine. Its sad but the other thing I have learned is that here people only moves his ass when it hurts their pockets.
Edit: thanks for that info about stef. Seems interesting, the few I watched didnt discover anything new but liked the unpretentious tone of them. The only contra is that there is too much material, anything in particular to watch?
