The bureaucrats now have enormous power. Congress writes funding authorization bills and leaves everything to them. It’s been so bad for so long, that Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats swore publicly that that’s the way it’s supposed to work. Once they’ve authorized the bureaucracy to get involved in something, there’s no limit to their rule. Barack Obama obviously thinks so too - like when he told the EPA to inaccurately characterize CO2 as a pollutant in order to take control of market via energy.
A clear example of our problem is the Health insurance bill. Years of government policy failure led to big problems. The solution. 2,000 pages new rules and regulations. In the 2,000 pages there is nothing but new layers of complexity. The next bill to correct the problems caused by this bill will require 4,000 pages of regulations and 4 times as many new government employees to write the regulations and try to enforce them. All this in an attempt to insure the uninsurable.
Sure. The CO2 problem. They are fixing a problem that never existed. They created the problem out of “thin air”. I think the only hope is for 34 states to call a con-con and eliminate the agencies that are causing so much trouble. Washington DC is like Humpty Dumpty.
