Reply #25: Global budgeting eliminates those problems

[eridani]

Our current oversight method is equivalent to controlling the movememnts of a herd of cattle by hiring hundreds of cowboys with sets of reins to each individual cow. Global budgeting for capital and operating expenses is the equivalent of putting a fence around the cattle and letting them move freely within. If providers try to cheat the system, they would take money directly out of the pockets of their colleagues, who would tend to notice and strongly object.
