Good article!

We’ve only got one branch of government and three branches of unemployed lawyer politicians who can’t get jobs because they lack a work ethic. The U.S. is a monarchy now and Jo Jo the pedophile king is running this chicken coop. Everybody else in Washington just sits around on their asses all day eating Mexican food and poking their cell phones.

If the bureaucrats get their power from Congress, maybe the bureaucrats need to be fired and have to reapply every 2 years like Congressmen?

There are more than 300 of these agencies sticking their nose into every aspect of American life and business.

Wonder who formed them huh Moe.

"Government Regulatory Octopus Is Strangling Our Economy: We Actually have 4 Branches of the Government"

---

Misguided voters who have too much voting power, evidenced by the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, are strangling the economy.

The definition of insanity is reelecting your state's Constitution-ignoring career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting different results every time.

Voters need to start taking informed responsibility for their voting power, beginning by primarying ALL your beloved, state and federal career lawmakers in 2024 since they've never made a significant difference in government policy.

In fact, regular readers of Free Republic can probably identify better MAGA patriots to run for office than Trump can, Trump arguably not getting the best advice about who to put in office from his institutionally indoctrinated, corrupt political party aligned advisors.

Administrative law needs to be shut down. It is unfettered and unchecked. Dangerous. Judicial review of its actions is too little too late.

***Congress -- the legislative branch -- has for decades delegated lawmaking authority to the unconstitutional fourth branch of the U.S. government: independent regulatory agencies***

This is absolutely the issue. For example, the mandate for only electric cars by 2030 SHOULD be passed as law by Congress - but of course they want the mandate but do not want to take the public responsibility so they turn it over to a nameless bureaucrat with a shrug: "What can I do?" These bureaucratic actions have been challenged in SCOTUS and won... but of course someone has to take them to SCOTUS! {Republicans?!}

Carpetbaggers!
