Broken Spying Government Fallacy Theory?

A broken window does not improve the economic well-being of society, as Bastiat notes (in his simply perfect Broken Window Fallacy).

Enlisting government to quickly fix a broken window can prevent crime, as the fallacious Broken Window Theory notes.

We need a new term or axiom for what happens when the federal government tries to prevent windows from being broken in small-town America by providing un-needed grants to wire these downtowns with security cameras.
