Exactly. Everyone should pay attention to how the bureaucratic system defends itself.

The death throes of the bureaucracy will be something to behold. Look at the outrage about USAID. I've got a Dem friend absolutely freaking out about it, and I think he just learned that USAID exists a few days ago. After he runs up against his own ignorance, the discussion ends up (like discussions about the Clinton Foundation) with the bald assertion: They do some good stuff.
