This is What Bureaucracy Looks Like!!

Any of us who grew up with government schooling were given a very inaccurate view of what bureaucracies are all about. This should not be so much of a surprise because the school system itself is a bureaucracy, so they have an obvious bias.

The last place that we should expect to find information critical of the establishment is an organization that is a primary fixture of that establishment. Sadly, the true face of government programs is far different from what we are told in school, and in the mainstream media.

A bureaucracy is the absolute worst kind of monopoly because it is a monopoly with a limitless bankroll. Therefore, it doesn’t matter how unproductive and unpopular it is, there will always be funding for it. In fact, there is actually far more incentive for bureaucrats to do a poor job with the task at hand, than to provide meaningful services to the community. Why is that you ask? Because bureaucrats actually get paid more money when they do a poor job, and they even run the risk of becoming unemployed if they complete the stated mission of their department. I know it sounds crazy, but this is actually the way things work.

Bureaucracies are established to fix some sort of perceived social problem; at least that’s what we are told anyway. Now, if they were to actually achieve their stated goal, then there is no additional task for them, and their job becomes obsolete. On the other hand, if they are able to corner whatever market they are in, prevent anyone from doing a better job and just let the problem fester, they are able to milk their mission until the end of their lives. To make matters even worse, when they can prove that they are desperately failing at their mission, they are always rewarded with more money. Could you imagine screwing everything up at work and being rewarding with a bonus from your boss? What kind of behavior would that encourage you to adopt? Well this is what happens every single time that a bureaucracy demands “more funding” for problems that they haven’t put a dent in throughout their whole existence.
