“We’re going to increase taxes!” “To spend on better public services?” “Nah, we’re just gonna burn it”

Is it possible that a fair amount of government expenditures are just a fancy way of burning money? E.g. cowboy poetry festivals.

The money doesn’t get burned though, it goes somewhere. Whether it’s for equipment hire or facilities or to compensate the cowboy poets for their time, or whatever.
