People in my business don't spend money that the CEO prohibits them from spending. Accountability.

If they do that, they get fired immediately. It's that simple. You don't want government bureaucracy to be accountable because you don't really support democracy, you support autocracy.

You accuse Trump of being an autocrat, which is funny, because people don't normally think of "an elected person who wants to return power to the people" as an autocrat.
