This goes back to the 1870s and 1880s. I disagree. This goes back to JFK allowing Federal workers to unionize. Up until then the bureaucracy was not totally unaccountable. Before that an incoming administration had no problem getting rid of an unelected bureaucrat.

Before that an incoming administration had no problem getting rid of an unelected bureaucrat. Ever hear of the Pendleton Act of 1883? That is the law that established the permanent and unaccountable bureaucratic state and established the technocracy. (Look it up)
