Should I advise you? This kind of discussion should be written in your local thread for effective discussion.
Agreed. I have no idea what OP is talking about exactly, and as is typical for members here, very little details are supplied as to what's supposed to be the topic. I initially thought this might be about the US government and all of their excess spending on idiotic shit, but apparently not. That's fine, too since government waste has been a contentious subject likely since the beginning of society and governments.
But if I may ask, how can citizens effectively engage the government in that they can curb some of these corruption cases in the financial sector across the world. Because most of us will agree with me that what O.P. said, even though it is peculiar to a country where he probably comes from or resides, it is not out of place for many other countries out there that are suffering from financial corruption in government, where government initiates projects that end up with no true sense of meaning.
A country with almost a zero impact yet allocates humongous amounts of money to such projects which end up not successful or initiated. There are situations where countries leave with moribund projects, much more than completed projects or ongoing projects. How does the society, the citizens, the represented be able to curb this financial corruption in the government system if it is through probing?
How do we effectively probe the government to bring them to an account? Because you do not expect a solution from the same system of government that is engaging in such acts. Rather, I feel like the larger society should be able to have a mechanism or an instrument so strong enough to resolve these issues themselves.
