William Niskanen said, forty years ago, that bureaucracies operate on the principle of budget maximization. (As it happens, I don't agree that Niskanen's strictures apply to classic Weberian civil services, but I am afraid it does apply to departments in the executive branch of the federal government which are dedicated to producing essential, but difficult-to-measure, public goods like security.)
