Trump’s Ungovernment

[jpsb]

You don’t have to look carefully to see the pattern in President-elect Donald Trump’s picks for his Cabinet. To run the government, he has picked men and women who disdain the missions of their assigned agencies, oppose public goods, or conflate their own interests with that of the public. It’s less a team for governing the country than a mechanism for dismantling its key institutions. And as a cadre of tycoons, billionaires, and generals, Trump’s executive branch is a rebuke to the idea that government needs expertise in governing.

It's a problem when threads are started with articles from the likes of Slate, it's like "thread porn."

I was only commenting on the short part of the article that was posted.  I don't want people appointed that think their agency is the greatest thing ever.  The less of certain government agency's influence the better.  Slate made it sound like a bad thing.  I think it's a good thing.

There are a bunch of high priced bureaucrats that need a harsh dose of reality. Those of us who work in the federal sector will attest to that. I work with a lot of people who have plenty of alphabet soup after their names, and I've never seen such a hodge podge of unread people. Supervisors are adept at documenting things to cover their butts, but don't expect an original thought from them.
