That's the problem. It's the shadow government we have no control over. Trump passed a bill to make most of them at-will employees, so they could be fired. But it got reversed Day 1 by Biden. Has he done anything right?
So true. I haven't figured a way where we could find people who didn't care so much about power and status to be in office. Maybe we need to start a draft - people do something for the government for 2 years and then go back to their own lives. Just kidding. But I do think that eliminating the after-government, retirement benefits of elected officials and putting employees on a 401-K, not a pension, would help.
And you’ll probably agree that the amount of administrative authority not granted by the Constitution may be even more alarming. Authority over our day to day lives by unelected bureaucrats is frightening.
The "parchment protections" the Founding Fathers put in place were good, while they lasted. But human nature did/does what human nature did/does.
