Trillions for rebuilding Tohoku go unused

How surprising that once again the fools that run the place can't seem to figure out how to help those affected by one of the worst disasters to hit an urban population.   Instead the money is spent on counting sea turtles, promoting festivals not located in Tohoku and for Japan's "research" whaling operation.    These fools couldn't organize a monkey shit-fight in a zoo.   With incompetence like this perhaps they should hire a group of high school students to figure it out for them.   These students would look for away help those in need rather than political assholes who run  who currently believe themselves to be in charge.  

The Reconstruction Agency said Wednesday that ¥3.4 trillion — 35.2 percent — of the ¥9.74 trillion in the fiscal 2012 budget slated to rebuild areas hit by the March 2011 disasters went unused.
The year before, 39.4 percent of the reconstruction budget, or around ¥5.9 trillion, went unspent, indicating the recovery effort has suffered from poor planning.
Difficulties coordinating reconstruction plans between different levels of government and forming a consensus among disaster-hit residents have hampered construction, the agency said.

What you don't realize is that the government has created system of bureaucratic hurdles so cumbersome and complex that one would need a law degree to figure out to actually receive the aid the government has promised.  This is done deliberately   so as to discourage those affected  into giving up on ever receiving add and the government can just keep the money.
