This is the biggest obstacle to any type of reform in government. It's not the politicians; it's the entrenched bureaucrats. Reform by any administration is impossible if they don't completely clean house in these institutions of the bureaucrats who survive president after president while working against them behind the scenes.

The Civil Service system was a response to the problems of the time, and took less than a century to create a bigger problem.

Go back to the spoils system.

I'd like to see the data on the growth of the civil service since the end of the spoils system.

The problem with the civil service vs. the spoils system, is that the curricula at all of America's elite universities are controlled by endowments. America's old money has an agenda and a narrative which is filtered down to the "educated middle managers."




This would not so much be a problem if the entire bureaucracy were accountable. . . but it is not.

So? The upshot is that the entire bureaucracy is made up of folks that don't really care about middle America, only internationalist billionaire agendas.

. . . a lot of which is just political theory, and no more relevant than the the opinions of folks that actually do the work.

These middle managers just get the jobs, b/c, well? They have degrees from elite universities, so naturally, their "opinions and beliefs," mean more than others?

:rolleyes:

They are ultimately only concerned about their own jobs and their own pensions.

They think globalism will keep them employed long enough to collect and die.

After that? Who fucking cares?

As Reagan once said, "Government is not the solution to the problem, government IS the problem". So, it's crazy to think that if there is a problem, we should expand government to fix the problem. It's kind of like Frank Barone said in an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond:

Frank Barone:
Didn't I teach you anything, you gotta problem with your woman you don't go out and get another one. Then you got two problems.
