"Failure to finish the year under budget would result in poor performance reviews and potential loss of their position. Competent management could decide if there might be some reasonable excuse for exceeding the budget."

The whole government budget process is upside down. You are rewarded for spending money you don't have, and punished for not spending enough. There needs to be a fix - abolish 90% of the departments would be a good start.
