It's interesting that the answer to all problems is to invest more
The amount of investment is to some degree irrelevant, it's the results that matter and investment for investments sake will not always drive these.
If I reported back to my boss and said,"Yes there are still problems with X, but the good news is I spent more money on it anyway" then I would be fired and rightly so.

throwing money at the problem isn't always the answer, it's making sure the department (or whatever) is effcient

It's like you've just repeated the same point and ignored mine.

No, I appreciate things need investment
but the amount spent is not a measure of success, which is how politicians like to use it.
"Why are NHS waiting lists getting longer, people dying etc etc"
"Well we invested an extra £8bn blah blah"; which is irrelevant if the measures of success aren't reached.

Again I can't help feeling that you are ignoring my point.

Was your point "spending more of stuff is always better"?
