What we need is strict term limits at every office to help deinfluence the lobbyist power to get people re-elected over and over and then a periodic top down justification of every position in govt wouldn’t hurt either. Business reevaluate positions all the time but govt NEVER gets smaller just finds ways to justify more people despite technology improvements and increased productivity in the civilian side of the world.
