<<<The big bucks in the budget are in defense and transfer payments. Those barely touch the bureaucracy. The care and feeding of the bureaucracy is a drop in the federal budget bucket.>>> I am talking about waste and mismanagement that is not exclusive to general and adminstrative costs. That is a large item. If you want to squeeze money out of the system, that is low fruit. But less government ideologues would rather focus on their own hobby horses - cutting from education and health care.
