Bureaucratic Power vs. Voter Control

Your government is secretly run by unelected experts who know way more than the president.

It’s called bureaucratic expertise, and because these agencies understand the boring details,

they hold the real power to shape laws. But there is a catch. Big industries can actually capture

these agencies and make them work for profit instead of the public. That’s why the Trump

v. Wilcox case is so huge right now—it decides if the president can finally fire

these independent leaders at will. It is the ultimate trade-off between expert stability

and voter control. Meanwhile, every dollar spent on foreign policy is money stolen

from your housing and schools. You need to decide who you actually want in charge.
