It doesn't make any sense unless you count human labour costs at $0/hour.
You take $10 of taxes and $10 of work ($20 total), and give $10 to the worker.
But maybe 50% waste is still better by order of magnitude than average government projects.

Losing money in bank is not theoretical. I have to pay income tax, just because I receive money through bank account.
Using bank means paying
- income tax and insurance
- debt collectors
- fines
Any mistake can result in astronomical fines and wipe all savings.
If I earn less than minimum wage, I have to pay 100% tax or more. That's because there is minimum monthly social benefits contribution.
With cash and bitcoin they never know if I have money.
Maybe foreign bonds and offshore accounts are good solution for storing money.
