When officials engage in policy reform initiatives, a critical question emerges: are they targeting the most impactful issues first? For instance, systematic fraud within American social welfare systems reportedly costs billions annually—yet how often do reform efforts actually audit and eliminate these inefficiencies? If such fundamental corruption within existing systems remains unaddressed, one might wonder whether the priorities are truly aligned with maximizing public benefit. The sequence of policy focus matters. Before expanding new interventions, identifying and eliminating wasteful patterns in established programs could free up substantial resources. It raises a broader point about governance: should we measure reform efforts by their stated intentions or their measurable impact on rooting out system-wide inefficiencies?
