No, absolutely not. That question was not asked. I don't believe from my own interview that it was even a consideration. What they are doing is looking at and gathering what all the needs are and then trying to do the best they can with a limited amount of funding available. The bottom line is that there isn't enough money, and everybody is trying to do far more than is possible with the finite budgets available.
We all have to adapt to the fact that there are great projects that don't get great support because the money's not there.
