Its called self-sustaining bureaucracy.

Bingo! ou hit the nail right on the head. Who needs "concealed government," and other ghost stories. That's not the way Leviathan works. Washington follows the inevitable path of all institutions set up for a legitimate purpose, answering why they require top to down reformation, even if the price for that is blood.

Their reason-for-being functions are crowded out by their self-continuity functions until self-continuity becomes its reason-for-being.

It’s republicans that actually want to decrease govt that have to fight against the Shadow Govt.

What!?
No, they don't!

Want proof: the NSA's domestic espionage. — Absolutely valid reason for disbanding the agency and cutting ALL intelligence funding until investigation is complete and proper safeguards in place. Even just gutting the agency, prosecuting the administrators and mid-management for the egregious 4th Amd violations would have been a huge publicly-supported move. — Yet they have done nothing.

Fast & Furious: multiple felonies, violation of international treaty, and the easiest Treason case to come along in seventy years — Not even a slap on the wrist.

The IRS's political targeting: even the people I know with liberal leaning know that it's bad juju to let the taxing-agency be so involved in politics (I think they remember Nixon) — the Republicans could have used that to REALLY investigate the IRS or, better yet, as impetus for a simple flat-rate system (which would remove that power from the IRS).

The Republican party holds the House of Representatives, and therefore holds the purse, yet they continue to fund ObamaCare.


Everything I've seen shows that the Republican party, as a party, does not want to fight against the Shadow Government.

Created over many decades by a Congress more concerned about being re-elected than accepting responsibility for governing.

Which is why TERM LIMITS must be an imperative.

“Its called self-sustaining bureaucracy”

This is exactly what it is. Unless or until we actually significantly reduce the size and scope of the Bureaucracy nothing will change.

We can elect Ted Cruz President in 2016 and the EPA will still be shutting down power plants and the BLM will still be running cows off the range. The NSA will still be spying on everyone and the DHS and the IRS will still be going after the Tea Party.

If you will remember recently Paul Ryan was touting his new budget idea at a conference or somewhere and he explained that 60% of the govt was the entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare etc and 40% was essentially the govt agencies ie bureaucracy. Then he immediately started to talk about how we need to reform SS and Medicare but could not bring himself to name even one unnecessary rogue govt agency that he would shut down.

Never forget that the Republicans are not going to ever actually shut down any govt agency. They want a powerful Federal govt just like the Democrats do. The GOP just wants to be able to wield the power.

Until we actually shut down these agencies like EPA, Energy, DHS, Education, HUD etc. and lay off about 500,000 govt employees nothing will really change. Its these mid level bureacrats that make most of the laws through regulation. Most of this stuff should be sent back to the states to decide for themselves.

Standard SUPPRESS THE CONSERVATIVE VOTE article...meant to convince conservatives that there is “no difference” between the parties - so conservatives STAY HOME, so the Dems can have a free ride to power.

Sad thing is that it seems to work, at least on this site (and with people I know).

Obama hasn’t personally done anything because he’s a tool and an idiot, but the shadow government behind has found him exceptionally useful, mainly because of race fears and white guilt, to come up with much more devastating ways to bypass Congress. Obama is lazy and inept, but those pulling his strings are quite capable.
