The bureaucrat's first objective, of course, is preservation of his job – provided by the big-government system, at the taxpayer’s expense. … Whether real world problems get solved or not is of secondary importance.

If the problems did not exist (or had been invented), there would be no reason for the bureaucrat to have a job.
