Wrong People in Government

There are different reasons people want to work in government, but we need to cut their numbers in half.

The motivation we hear from politicians is that they believe government can accomplish great things. They are “statists”, who wouldn’t mind if government ran everything. They do not consider the difference in cost between the public and private sectors.

There is also a group who find power to be an aphrodisiac. They derive their identity from their proximity to people in power. They are “name droppers”.

There has always been a group who value “security” above everything else.  They work for government to avoid being laid off. For this group, inefficiency is a blessing, because it ensures “job security”.

The group we are looking at now are Democrat Liberal Activists who work in government because they can spend time working on Democrat political goals and campaigns. They are Socialists, who want to overthrow the US government. These operatives need to be removed from the federal payroll.

The first step in culling down the cost of the federal government is to remove the unconstitutional departments, agencies and programs and then have people who know what they’re doing to automate all processes for efficiency. Laws that unleash the chaos should not be effective until effective processes are created and tested. Newt Gingrich once said he wanted to install “Lean Management” into the federal government and he is correct.  Government has the worse disjointed and dysfunctional processes imaginable.

Voters need to elect candidates who are aware of these problems and who know how to reorganize for efficiency and quality and are less enamored with government.

Government employees need to implement more effective processes and these are the only employees we will need. Removing political activists from management roles and replacing them with professionals is in order. Those who want to engage in political activity can do so on their own time.
