Bingo.

The bureaucrat's primary motivation is to stay employed, usually by controlling as much power and/or budget as he can. The politician's primary motivation is to get re-elected. In both cases, the individuals are strongly encouraged to constantly legitimize and rationalize their own existence. This is done through enacting more and more legislation, laws, policies, procedures, forms, etc. More red tape and more B.S.

The solution is smaller government, but the liberal communists don't EVER want that.

If you try to force smaller government (like CA did with its referendum recently) you only end up with the politicians and bureaucrats punishing the populace in order to get them to bend or break before getting to the point of having to make real change and/or cuts.

Government NEVER relinquishes power, control or money once they have their hands on it. Never. One of the few absolutes in life.
