The Iron Law of Bureaucracy shows that the administrators of government agencies are dependent on the opposite of government savings. Their power grows the larger the budget they administer grows, and any savings their agency manages decreases their personal power.

Government is run by people, and those people prefer to grow their power rather than decrease it.

Edit: WE need to use blockchain to first rein in government, and then replace it altogether. WE benefit from savings in the services we fund.
