Ted, And the other big shocker........bureacracies are not going away anytime........I mean, do you see INTC getting significantly smaller in the near future? So rather than railing at bureacracies why not try to improve them with constructive suggestions?
Intel has to deal with competition, especially from AMD. If the Intel bureaucracy isn't lean and efficient, profits will disappear, and eventually, so will Intel.
Government bureaucracies, on the other hand, are not subject to the forces of the free market. Just toss your constituents a bone every now and then and you can get away with increased spending, along with the resulting higher taxes and/or deficits.
Finally, to get back to my original point, Bush brought in some seriously incompetent and/or indifferent people to work in DC. Its a problem that the next president will have to redo. And as we post here, these incompetents are making the gov't worse, not better. We have evidence of that on several different levels.
I never claimed that Bush is the enemy of government bureaucracy. On the contrary, he has done absolutely nothing to reduce it, despite his business background. "Reform" in his mind is adding more layers of bureaucracy, compounding the problem. This is what happens when you leave the bureaucrats in charge of fixing things. What's needed is some strong leadership to cut through all of it.
