"Do you believe that there can be an "efficient bureaucracy" or is that just way beyond your ideological prejudice?"

I think it is a religious issue with Tench. I've talked to others with that approach, and Tench's posts use the same wording. The same straw men pop up and the arguments get weird.

What always seems to be the case is confusion of the bureaucracy with the other parts of the government. They seem to be unable to separate the two. They always obsess over them making decisions for them. Which is odd, bureaucracies don't make decisions. They follow the rules. The decisions are made either by the appointees or the legislative branch. Once those decisions are made and the procedures approved, the bureaucracies make sure it gets done that way.

JF, What you are seeing is cronyism, not "inefficient bureaucracy".

A "nuance" that doesn't concern me. Inefficient bureaucracies breed cronyism, turf battles, CYA politics, etc.

Do you believe that there can be an "efficient bureaucracy" or is that just way beyond your ideological prejudice?

Yes, I believe it's possible. Does that go beyond your prejudice of me?
