I’ll get my health care, I know it’s not fair,
But we’ll ram it through, you know that’s it due,
And I say to myself, it’s an Obama world.

I see Rahm Emanuel calling voters retards,
His language so awful, his tactics so hard.
And the EPA shutting down industry,
We need energy while they’re hugging trees.

The country’s decline the fault is not mine
It’s been just a year, so let’s have a beer
And I say to myself it’s an Obama world,
And I say to myself , it’s an Obama world.

It must take a special form of insanity or cynicism to vote for higher taxes and then cheat to avoid the very taxes you voted for. One of the reason I don’t have that many liberal friends any more.

When we talk of the Constituton, “Bureaucrats” and “administrators” are not included. The founding documents relied on the power and work of private individuals basd on natural laws respecting property and personal rights. In large part this stems from the agriculture society that was the basis of much of the world in the 18th century. The key to the constitution was the checks and balances. States versus federal, executive versus legislative vs judicial, etc.

Industry resulted in changes to the social fabric. It also created a crack that was in time used by progressives to begin to sideline the Constitution and many natural law beliefs. Early in the 20th century, governments developed administrators to administer regulations. Regulations for “health and welfare” which resulted in limits on private freedoms.

What they left out was the check and balance. Who has the power to say no more, who speaks up for the citizen. Who or what balances the administrator who makes rules and governs beyond the limits of the constitution?

But to my point, the need for bureaucrats. For my example, lets take the case of a volunteer fire department. Free men and women who band together to protect themselves. When houses were wood and the volunteers used water, life was simple, neighbors could work together. But today, a volunter fireman may have to respond to a chlorine spill on the highway, over the road radioactive materials, or a natural gas fire, or a number of complex and dangerous situations. Many of these require more than just “put water on the fire” knowledge. All of these require complex training and tools.

I still belive volunteers can do the job, but they need to be trained and certified. Tools, training and certification bring forms of administration into play for the protection of the volunteer and the citizens. So how do we balance the cost or training volunteers to be safe with the rise of regulatuons that impact fireman, truckers, builders, and any number of persons who firemen may come into contact wih. Or do we just create government agency with Bureaucrats to “fix” the problem? (not my recommendation)

This was one simplified example, but it can be extended into zoning and planning, construction, environmental issues, etc. I maintain we can achive an appropriate level of administrative bureaucrats. But we first need to re-establish the principals of private rights based on natural laws and then add a means of checks and balances to the imposition of regulators. Not to mention, reset the checks and balances in the state and national goverments.

For the record I am an engineer in private practice. In the past I have also served in the public sector. I also believe we have allowed regulators and administrators to go unchecked for too long, we need a means of check and balance.
