Bureacracy.....

Just got some unfathomable correspondence from the Inland Revenue about Child Tax Credit. Why is it that even though we supplied information to them months ago they still get it wrong? Why is it so hard to get what we're entitled to? It just seems so unfair that the amount of money wasted in government because of stupid financial rules can't be used to fund giving us some kind of financial relief. I was having a chat with a fellow parent at the school this afternoon, he used to work for the council and said in April they would have to carry in new desks and come February they were chucking them out again so new ones could be bought. Its all just a waste of public money.
