Your plan would result in Washington career bureaucrats running the country.

This comment probably won't be popular but what the hell:
Basically, give Ron Paul dictator-level power for 4 years. Let him cut whatever he wants with no one to question or stop him. It would be like a great reset button being pressed. He's the only human I'd trust with that amount of power. |

If he really did try to reset the government he'd turn up dead. |

The career bureaucrats/functionaries currently still take their marching orders from the elected officials. Elected officials often have a lot of experience governing, or working in/for government, and often bring in their own staffs. But, if some random Joe Blow is elected and thrown into office, then he will have NO CHOICE but to rely on the bureaucrats who are already in place, and who know how things run, and who know where the bodies are buried, etc. So in essence, you would have created a new permanent "ruling class" - made up of the behind-the-scenes functionaries. I don't think that would be an improvement. |
