I think that you're assumptions are predicated on your belief that the people in charge have the public's best interests as their goal.

What if they have long term concerns about over population? If their objective is predicated on goals associated with preventing over population, then these/their actions may start to make more sense. I'm not suggesting that the upper/mid/lower level operational people have this as a goal. Just the 0.001% Elite.
