Unfortunately we live in a society, and are led by a political class, which for the most part knows lots about cost but with little appreciation for value or understanding beyond the veneer of media headlines. This is but one example; comments on public sector pay and pensions are another. And there is little scrutiny of the arguments, just a Pavlovian agreement by those in positions of authority aiming to shore their position.
