[net.politics] how to eliminate the federal deficit :-)

david@fisher.UUCP (David Rubin) (08/19/84)

If we divvy it up proportionately, each department has the incentive
to inflate its request to assure a larger percentage of the "take".
We run into severe mathematical problems when all departments realize
how the game is to be played, and all request infinite resource. Then
all those fractions in the formulas are undefined...
