EXACTLY! I watched John Brennan, James Comey and James Clapper nearly take down an elected President. They had vast power because of their time spent in vast, powerful bureaucracies, which run completely independently. Have they ever been subject to an election? To public scrutiny? How about first having term limits on these bureaucrats and their programs?
Limiting the power of our elected officials, as flawed as they are, just gives even MORE power to these people.
It would be interesting to see if a candidate might garner votes and win by promising to not hire anyone local in the DC area. That they and their staff will come from their district or state only. Has anybody seen this actually happened, I wonder if it might work.
