Wow. What a bleak piece. But I think she's wrong here:

Our elites, our educated and successful professionals, are the ones who are supposed to dig us out and lead us. I refer specifically to the elites of journalism and politics, the elites of the Hill and at Foggy Bottom and the agencies, the elites of our state capitals, the rich and accomplished and successful of Washington, and elsewhere.

Really, outside of the uniformed Military Services, leaders aren't taught that much at all. Leaders on The Hill and Foggy Bottom are not taught how to really lead. They are basically just technical experts at some job function.
