25. I think I figured out my problem.

As an outsider having never been had a government job, it's easy to think that these agencies are individual entities. No, they "are" the government. They and all their stuff, their projects, experiments, equipment, their microwave ovens, it's all owned by the government. They do what they're told. Gees, I have to get it in my head that it's the whole government that's being pulled into a rat hole, not just agencies going off a cliff separately. When you think about that, you realize how practically impossible it will be to recover the losses.
