hide behind...business theories like Six Sigma, and Lean production.

Seriously? You have no idea what you're talking about. Both of these process improvement methodologies are about eliminating waste in processes. They are antithetical to big government and bureaucracy!

The latest fad in the Obozo administration is to pretend they are using Lean production theory while maintaining the top down hierarchical structure that causes the 90% waste in the first place.

They "listen" but don't listen.
They "delegate" but don't delegate.
They are "transparent" while they hide everything important.

You get the idea.

When Lean theory is applied correctly it works, or course.
