The cycle constantly repeats itself.
Bad accident, FAA finds they didn't have enough staff or oversight, they ask congress for (and get) more money to address it, beef up staffing, create more positions, etc.
Years later, when bean-counters come by, they figure since bad things haven't happened in a while that said positions and changes are no longer necessary, and it's back to square one.
It is the way of things.
