Bureaucracy


A system of government in which most of the important decisions are made by state officials rather than by elected representatives – Oxford Dictionaries

        We all have horror stories about working with bureaucracies.  It could be government agencies or our medical insurance providers.  The red tape created by bureaucracies increases the cost of everything. 
        Bureaucratic red tape has stifled our economy for decades.  I am so happy to see President Trump keep his promise of reducing government regulations.  He has eliminated 20 regulations for every one he has initiated.  It is easy to understand why the economy is growing.
        I have a problem with bureaucrats enacting regulations that have the force of law and do not have the approval of Congress.   Bureaucratic agencies should not have the power to legislate law. 
        We have a problem with bureaucratic agencies going beyond their designated power and actually committing crimes for political and/or personal reasons.  We have seen this with the Internal Revenue Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, and possible the State Department. 
        This bureaucratic corruption must be stopped and prevented in the future.  No one is trying to degrade the FBI or DOJ.  Quite the reverse is true.  We need to clean up the corruption at the top to preserve the reputation of these great agencies.  Some people don’t want to clean up this bureaucratic corruption because they are trying to cover their own ass.  
        When Trump said he was going to clean up the swamp, I had no idea how corrupt it was.  We are just starting to uncover the truth.  Things to consider: 

·       Are bureaucrats committing these crimes because of partisan politics?

·       Are bureaucrats committing these crimes for personal gain?

·       Are partisan politicians controlling the corrupt bureaucrats?

·       Are the political elite and deep state controlling both the corrupt bureaucrats and politicians?

·       Are the corrupt bureaucrats actually the deep state and do they control the politicians?

·       Who is controlling the lame-stream media, or are they just going for ratings with no concern for reporting the facts?

        These are some interesting things to think about.  I wonder if we will ever know the truth.  Both major political parties may not want the public to know how corrupt the government has become.  People might loose faith in their government. 
        Unfortunately, even if we do learn the truth, the people at the top of the corruption will probably never face any serious legal consequences.  I heard one political commentator say these corrupt bureaucrats should be ashamed of themselves.  Being shamed is not enough.  I want to see people go to jail. 

        God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.
