Regulations

The term Deep State is controversial because it has become political. The Deep State is twofold. First and most easily recognized is the red tape needed to do anything. This is federal, state and local. It takes much too long to get things going. Former President Obama said, there is no such thing as a shovel ready job. He learned as president what Joe the plumber could have told him. As the push to move the infrastructure bill gets underway the problems with regulations will become the biggest obstacle. The bureaucrats in control of departments like commerce and EPA will determine how successful the transition to reshoring will take place. Second is the small cadre of top officials in the State Department who have become political. They are after Trump now but in time things may change and then people who are quiet now will wake up to the fact that once again bureaucrats are running the show. These people have access to secret FBI files on just about everyone and they can use that information. As long as the country is split along political lines these people can and will run the show.
