Only a barking moonbat could come up with a bureaucrat (and the office and staff, not to mention expense account) to do away with excessive bureaucrats! Talk about redundancy - I also guess that it either deflects the (proposed/imaginary future)cut(s) from the politicos or is just another worthless and useless drain of taxpayer money that does not solve the problem and more than likely will cause even more problems - i.e. either one or both are a liberals dream scenario.
Wardmama has it just so. If they really wanted to do away with bureaucrats, they’d cut major portions of law and regulation out, and defund the ministries that dealt with it, laying all those government workers off.
Because of the unions in government (at least here in Canada), I can pretty much say, short of a revolution that overthrows the government: Never going to happen. Elections don’t work, they only change the MP’s, not the bureaucracy underneath that is ever growing until a government collapses entirely when the people revolt. It’s kind of like a Phoenix, it has to die and be reborn, and elections don’t count.
Tiger, exactly right. I don’t actually know the figures but, the number of voters who work for the govt. is very high over here.
Once again and as always, Lyndon might know. And it’s true that the MPs change but nothin else will.
To pharaphrase: Numbers rarely lie but liars usually become mind numbing bueaucrats.
