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?
