"Good" Government

Submitted by StaceyDiamond on Sun, 2008/01/27 - 7:46pm.

It never ceases to amaze me that after all the yelling over getting to vote the good government groups want more appointments and less representation. I wonder if some of this is throwing the baby out with the bath water. I think some action on nepotism and conflict of interest should be taken, but not sure how strict. I dislike the developer back scratching as much as the family back scratching. I dislike a government run by Scoobie's folks as much as I would by these good government elitists. Balanced thought gets lost in all this.

The best way

The best way is to have competent and experienced career civil servants, not
partisan appointments nor elected officers. But then, that is anathema to the Reagan doctrine of government being the problem, not the solution. He was certainly correct when it came to movement conservatives trying to provide "good government" since they don't believe such a thing exists.
