Is Washington’s power fading away? Not hardly. Now, if you said that the power of the senate and congress is fading away, that I’ll agree. Question: “HOW MANY LAWS HAS CONGRESS & SENATE PASSED?” Answer; “NOT A HELL OF A LOT”. Now question: “HOW MANY “RULES & REGULATIONS” HAVE THESE “ALPHABET GOVERNMENT AGENCIES” PASSED”? Answer: “ALMOST HALF A MILLION”. As it stands now, we really don’t need the senate or congress in Washington. Because they are being made inconsequential. The “REAL” law makers in Washington are the BUREAUCRATS in all these GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.
Outstanding post!!!!!
BTW, one could make a good argument that the BUREAUCRATS in all these GOVERNMENT AGENCIES are in fact more consequential than the congress. Reid shelved well over 300 bills so very little was accomplished by the paralyzed congress, whose primary function has been reduced to being a “venue” for political theater.
