I hate watching the smugness and obfuscation and duplicity of the Executive agency bureaucrats that go before Congress and lie and refuse to be accountable. They know they now have more power than Congress, which created them. I wish Congress would abolish some agency or severely restrict it in some way to show it who's boss, but I don't believe it can, because Congress (which was supposed to represent The People and be the most important branch of the federal gov't) is no longer in charge...
"The US is run as a corporatist body – joint rule by big business and the state. The elected members are, like doormen, temporary. They are, of course, highly visible, which they’re intended to be, as they’re meant to distract the public eye away from those who are truly in charge.
"And, like doormen, they’re disposable. They can be unelected at four-year intervals and the agenda continues as planned. They are, in fact, largely irrelevant to the direction that the country takes."
