Bureaucrats

The State and Defense Departments are awash with people who can view top secret documents but our elected officials in congress cannot. The congress represents the people not the career government employees. That is what is meant when we say, of the people, by the people and for the people. The events of January 6 are referred to as an insurrection but the real threat to our way of life is the bureaucracy. Over my life time these un-elected civil servants have taken control of the government and we need to recognize the danger they represent. People in various departments like the EPA and Homeland Security set up rules that the people have no say in. Look at recent events with Covid and how the government had the power to disrupt the entire country. Someone sitting in the back room of some government building in DC can tell us to get rid of our gas stoves or to shut down schools and we are forced to march in lock step to their demands. The people must elect officials who will take back the power and responsibility they gave away to the bureaucrats.
