right on FBI

[Max Sawicky]

I debated KOB once and learned I never had to read
her, but this quote below is not conducive to the
FBI initiative.  We would expect the same sort of
dependency between bureaucrats and the FBI groups.
Same game, different players.

"The Great Society did not fail because of a lack of competition or of 
accountability-minded administrators. It failed because it bred 
mutual dependency between federal government and proxy networks. 
Middle-class nonprofit managers not only provided services under 
federal programs; because they provided services, they also became 
the primary constituents for those programs. Keeping the grants 
flowing became the main concern of both the nonprofits and the 
government. That's why these programs have been a political but not 
practical success. They are impervious to reform."
