00:00:38

and the most orwellian thing you've ever

00:00:38

and the most orwellian thing you've ever heard<00:00:38.700> they<00:00:38.940> call<00:00:39.059> that<00:00:39.180> leveling<00:00:39.600> up

00:00:40

heard they call that leveling up

00:00:40

heard they call that leveling up what<00:00:40.800> do<00:00:40.920> you<00:00:41.040> say<00:00:41.160> I<00:00:41.820> think<00:00:41.940> in<00:00:42.300> this<00:00:42.420> case

00:00:42

what do you say I think in this case

00:00:42

what do you say I think in this case we're<00:00:42.780> talking<00:00:42.960> about<00:00:43.200> relatively<00:00:43.980> trivial

00:00:44

we're talking about relatively trivial

00:00:44

we're talking about relatively trivial amounts<00:00:44.820> of<00:00:44.879> money<00:00:45.059> for<00:00:45.239> projects<00:00:45.660> that<00:00:46.079> often

00:00:46

amounts of money for projects that often

00:00:46

amounts of money for projects that often ought to<00:00:46.920> be<00:00:47.040> financed<00:00:47.579> by<00:00:47.760> the<00:00:48.239> private

00:00:48

ought to be financed by the private

00:00:48

ought to be financed by the private sector<00:00:48.899> I<00:00:49.440> think<00:00:49.500> this<00:00:49.680> really<00:00:49.860> underscores

00:00:50

sector I think this really underscores

00:00:50

sector I think this really underscores the<00:00:50.820> problem<00:00:51.000> with<00:00:51.480> things<00:00:51.719> like<00:00:51.960> the

00:00:52

the problem with things like the

00:00:52

the problem with things like the leveling<00:00:52.559> up<00:00:52.680> fund<00:00:52.980> which<00:00:53.160> is<00:00:53.280> that<00:00:53.460> they

00:00:53

leveling up fund which is that they

00:00:53

leveling up fund which is that they create<00:00:53.760> anomalies<00:00:54.420> and<00:00:54.899> then<00:00:54.960> the<00:00:55.140> case<00:00:55.320> is

00:00:55

create anomalies and then the case is

00:00:55

create anomalies and then the case is always<00:00:55.680> made<00:00:55.980> for<00:00:56.579> more<00:00:56.760> the<00:00:56.940> government

00:00:57

always made for more the government

00:00:57

always made for more the government comes<00:00:57.539> Under<00:00:57.660> Pressure<00:00:57.960> to<00:00:58.379> spend<00:00:58.559> more<00:00:58.739> and
