Governments are bankrupt and getting broker.
The best way to save and reposition money to meet priorities would be to eliminate the huge amount of unnecessary travel undertaken by politicians and bureaucrats.
With Internet alternatives, billions would be saved by meeting online.
Maximising travel opportunities to attend every tinpot conference and meeting going around is stupidness to the extreme.
There is so much waste. Governments everwhere ans at all levels are profligate.
It’s true that a lot of money is spent, but I find that speaking in person is the best presentation.
Hear hear.
