    Wouldn't it be possible to pre-plan government projects throughout the year to minimize the on-event implementation needed? Sort of having a hierarchy to bypass the legislative lag? All the possible projects would be agreed on beforehand by the government bodies..

    Why not just write a check to everyone. No government spending creating inefficiency, real organic growth and market allocation.
