The incremental view in budget formulation is still widespread today, particularly in the Public Administration context. Quite often, such an approach offers politicians an expedient to artificially inflate expected tax revenues that can budget for higher expenses and promise higher financial subsides to a wider circle of voters (i.e.: unemployed, trade unions, industrial representatives, etc.) In this perspective, budget formulation is only used as a political consensus (rather than a managerial) tool that is useful to achieve agreements on virtual objectives and, consequently only to provide votes for politicians. Moreover, particularly in the Italian Regional Government context, a lack of coordination has been observed between strategies and policies pursued by different departments, in fact, several grey or overlapping areas can be found in departmental budgets.
