I know a teacher who orders 80 pencils each year. Sometimes her students forget to bring a pencil to class sometimes they can't afford to spend a lot on school supplies. She was audited last, and had to count the remaining pencils: show that this wasn’t wasteful spending. The school budget is, you see, very tight. And next year she’ll just get 30 pencils. Good for them, right? We wouldn’t want her wasting our tax dollars on too many pencils.
