This piece is clearly written with a far-left bias. I have many doubts about it's authenticity

However, that being said, the nature of growth described is in the very DNA of bureaucracies. Give someone a title and he must build a kingdom. Look at the Social Security System, Obamacare, Medicare - look at any of them. They are all bloated with unnecessary people.

That’s rich, Beltway Boys pretending not to be Butt-boys on the Potomac.
