Sounds about right jak. The government used to represent the people. Then somebody got a bright idea. “Why not run government like a business?” It made sense, private business was demonstrably more efficient than government. But a little problem crept in, government, though a bit more efficient became more centered on profitability and growth. Next there was a growing competition between bureaucracies. But in the end the bureaucracies followed the Arab model of cooperation; Me against my brother, my brother and I against my cousin, etc. They fight over power but they will crush us to maintain their power. There is not an agency that can’t in the end crush all citizens or ruin this country on their own. The EPA is doing a pretty good job of it but another will usurp them to destroy what is left of America.
