#1 A a huge bureaucracy is a danger to a free country. It as if there are four branches of government instead of three. Government becomes unmanageable. More and more people become a government employee. Free enterprise suffers and consequently the country. A growing bureaucracy, unionization of the federal government and lobbyists have nearly destroyed the republic. I'd like see the next president begin lopping off federal agencies although I doubt there is any hope for that. Any candidates for lopping?

#2 JohnQC: I'll nominate the Departments of Agriculture and Education. Ag and Ed should be handled at the State level. The Department of Homeland Security is redundant. The F.B.I. has historically been responsible for this task.

#3 The fundamental question is 'who is accountable with consequences?'

No accountability. No control. No quality. You can at least court martial in the uniform services and there is no tenure except in the 18-20 time frame.

#4 The man wearing the 'green tabs' [leadership tabs] is both accountable and responsible. Blaming subordinates or the enlisted is cowardly and despicable.
