Creating a balance between resources and tasks

One of the ultimate requirements for policymakers is to create and maintain a balance between resources and tasks. There is always a chance to accomplish the above goal either in an individual case or in the system as a whole, both at local government and at central government levels, irrespective of the fact whether this is done within or without a systematic structural reform. Those who consider the above statement unacceptably sterile or alien to daily practice may easily be misled to indefinitely delaying the practical implementation of this requirement. As far as I am concerned, the only practical concession I can allow policymakers is the following: the absence of or distortions in the balance are to be remedied within the timeframe of a political cycle rather than within one budgetary year in order to make sure that the verifiable results of the measures discounted to the present should be immediately visible. I believe that any policy measure that fails to treat and manage the above task in this manner is irresponsible.
