There's more than one way to skin a cat. Just because the feds hit on the
wrong way doesn't mean they couldn't adopt a workable way that a state has
discovered. Expecting (or as you are doing, promoting) mediocracy out of
government results in mediocre governance. It's *your* government, for and
by you. Hold them to a higher standard.

Let's see. If we take a realistic look at how government bureaucracies
perform rather than assuming that somehow human nature inside a
bureaucracy is magically going to change if our government becomes
socialistic we are encouraging mediocrity? It's a world-wide phenomena
that bureacrats and bureaucracies are very resistant to change. This has
been documented for decades, but acknowledging this is somehow a
negative.

LOL. You're still trying, Paul, but still not making very effective
arguments.

And, do you really think that scapegoating one guy is going to change
the decades of inefficiency and corruption that are built into the
system? If you know anything about bureaucracy you know it is highly
resistant to change. Criminy, the senators doing all the squawking are
a part of the problem, not the solution. All the vast majority of
politicians have ever cared a bout is making a surface change. That's
what gets them votes in their eyes.

Not exactly a scapegoat when he's the one in charge and responsible for the
well-being of his subordinates (staff and patients alike in this case).
More like rightly placed blame for not taking care of the problem sooner.
He's not the only one who should loose their job over that.


Really? Why then are not the majority of the leadership and mid-level
bureaucrats not gone? They are all responsible for the problem. It's
pervasive. Changing one man, or even a few people isn't going to change
anything. The entire socialistic structure has to go. Personal
responsibility must exist all the way structure. As if that is going to
happen in a society that seems to abhor the concept.
