Sorry. What I meant to get across.... is because of the MUP's or because of something newer. Sooner or later someone's budget will grow so big.... as to make that person (or the MUP's themselves) a target by other petty, jealous, promotion hungry, government employees (meaning people like everywhere else).

Because government services are NOT profit or customer satisfaction driven........ MUP budgets will be slashed so that the budget can be divided amongst other branches of the same department or funneled into new/other department budgets.

This is how it has always worked. This is how/why governments continue to grow and increase taxes until... they topple under their own weight.
