Also, why is the workload so heavy now that they cannot keep up? We're seeing a trend (well, it's always been there...) of more and more and more bloat in the government. More paperwork, more forms, more standing in lines, more sending stuff to 5 other people to get it stamped, more more more.
This whole "paperless office" thing was supposed to PREVENT that, but instead, it's irritated it. I find it absurd when it takes me 2 days in line to get plates for me car, but I can only imaging how many hoops that paperwork has to go through to get done as well.
When police are spending more time writing reports than they are enforcing the law, something is wrong. When a nurse spends more time dealing with insurance and lawsuit paperwork than helping that patient, something is wrong.
