The voting public never sees these costs. They are sometimes told about it, tenth-hand, such as the fabled $10,000-hammer and the gold toilet seat. Congress itself sees these costs, or more precisely, teams working for congressmembers see them. Congress members approve bills that are not lowest-cost when there is personal benefit for their careers: pork-barrel. It's very hard to justify not-lowest-cost without a pork-barrel angle. |
