Default OT Yep, what we need is another agency

I think it is simply yet another bureaucracy run amok, and since most
folks (or those that vote, anyway) either do or think they will get
something out of it, there is much more momentum carrying it forward
than attempting to stop it from lurching along like a hippopotamus, on
four too many Martinis and all dolled up in some Paris-Hilton-does-Tokyo
goofball getup...or blotzed on mango-and-squid-ink half-vodka, half-ouzo
Rob Roys, if one prefers...


A heck of a lot of large human organizations are bureaucracies run
amok, including General Motors, Enron, the US military, the Catholic
church (at least when it came to shuffling priests around so that
they'd have fresh supplies of young boys to bugger), the UAW, and
various gov't agencies at all levels of gov't. I'm not sure, though,
to what extent the SSA falls into that category or the one, shared
with the IRS, of responding to congressional mandates driven by
various interests. On the other hand, SS is the biggest accounting
scam of all time by a very wide margin.
