Francisco runs into a businessman harried by a bureaucrat who grandly states that he will decide if the businessman is permitted to make a profit or not.

A friend posted the following on his facebook status this week: "I've been looking for the posting of the General Motors CEO on USAJOBS. It's a civil service position now, right?"

The entire handling of the car companies is ripped right out of the bureaucrat deciding who is permitted to make a profit. Google: allowed to make a profit. Oil companies? Not allowed to make a profit. Wind-fall taxes anyone?

It gets even better in a few weeks when we get to Directive 10-289.
