Government aid programmes

I am starting to get a slight smell of all this recent PR about government aid programs. It is all beginning to sound like, "Look lads, we know you haven't got any more idea about how to run a country than we have so here's a few million to help you cover up a few cock-ups - lack of health-care, education, transport, food and water, for instance. If there's anything left over, just increase your expenses like we do".
