Which struck my eye because it is pretty much what happened to public services in England, too. So-called ‘consultants’ were always being brought in to advise on (pointless) reorganisations. Schools, hospitals and other social services were told that they could raise ‘private finance’ but issuing bonds on future income. Now all these are hideously in debt. The government says that we have to tighten our belts, but the government spending never went to ordinary people, it was all drained away by bogus ‘experts’.
