Liberal model of dealing with things is to spend more money than would be required to give it too everyone for free so you can continue to make sure your lobbyist gets paid.
The deteriorating service and increased violence against those trying to engage in it in good faith is the point, like with the DWP it would be cheaper just to give everyone what they wanted, but then they would have to give up the club they can beat the proles with, and when has the upper class willingly given up its club when asked? Never.
