Say my dad owned a house with a leaky roof. Each year he got an estimate for $400 to fix the leak but $1,000 to correct the problem, but he opted to put $400 in to repairs. Over time, the leak doesn't get fixed but it doesn't get worse either. He's not fixing anything, but he's not destroying it either.
But then say I inherit the house and the first year the roofer tells me $400 to fix and $1,000 to correct the problem, but I opt to put only $200 in it. Over time, the problem gets worse and eventually the roof falls in.
For 40 years, nobody fixed the problem; but for the last four, everybody made it worse. So you're right; the problem should have been corrected long ago. But you're wrong at the same time, because we cut the maintenance as well.
