That dementia riddled senile old cunt can’t die quick enough for the country

I feel a I need to suggest a slight correction:

"Of course no one wants that to happen, so your goal is to spend it all, no matter what it’s on - so long as it’s within the rules and regulations."

You spend ca 5%-10% /more/ than your budget, while cutting back on actually-getting-stuff-done-positions by the same amount, every year.

That way, you can go over budget, show your political boss that despite having to stretch the budget you still managed to make it work, so that the politician can get you an even bigger budget for next year.

Rinse and repeat.

To ensure the smooth workings of this, make sure people indebted to or otherwise allied with your political patrons receive their kick-backs (f.e. prioritising hiring community organisers from key voter groups); that way, they too will lobby the politician to increase spending.

Always remember to CYA and GOIF, and you'll do just fine. You might even become the presidential candidate without a single nomination!
