Which is odd, bureaucracies don't make decisions. Many laws leave a large scope for regulations and interpretations various administrative agencies. The decisions are made either by the appointees or the legislative branch. Appointees might be considered part of the bureaucracies. Even if they are not, there is some level of interpretation, and some scope for deciding various level of enforcement below the top political level. I get your overall point, and to an extent I agree with it. The politicians and the political appointees are more to blame for stifling regulations than the civil service. Tim

re: 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. That's the thing. The ideologues have their preset opinions that get in the way of pragmatic decisions. Government does some things very well, some things are better left to private companies. Who cares, you just look for the best solution. You can't build the Interstate System one property owner at a time.
