Are governments chasing financial success? As far as I understand most governments are spending way more than they're collecting in tax revenue, which is alarming considering that so much infrastructure needs to be repaired or rebuilt.
I think part of the problem are suburbs. Suburbs cost way more in infrastructure than they bring in. We all need to rethink housing to avoid bankrupting every government.
Yes, they are. They are chasing it for corporations who are meant to provide jobs. That is not the case anymore though, is it? The governments metric of success is GDP.
Oh I'm sorry, I thought you meant financial success for the governments themselves, but you mean for the regions they're governing?
