Although billions of dollars are being
expended annually on family planning services in less - developed countries, and such programs have been promoted by various
governments at the national
level for four decades, there are only a few studies that have attempted to measure the demographic and health impact of family planning against a «control group» — a similar area which lacks the service.
The only «benefit» I can see is for those within the department to demonstrate the worthiness of their continued funding
at or around the current
level, even though almost half that department could be removed with the stroke of a pen if a few eligibility rules for benefits were loosened for the few remaining veterans who have a few years only before meeting their maker - essentially bucket loads of money could be saved that are being
expended employing teams of people for millions of dollars, to literally save mere thousands of dollars on veterans entitlements - «penny wise and pound foolish» = > it is actually quite bizarre, and I'm sure it is just one of the most blatant examples of the organised stupidity that is
government today.
