1. Ineptocracy  – a system of government where the least

capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the

members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded

with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number

of producers
 
Seems to me an apt decription of where we have come. Is there  any escape?

Looks to me like the standard right-wing drivel.

Years ago when I was in school I read a book by Gunnar Myrdal, who was socialist prime minister of Sweden for many years.

He had spent some time in the US studying our government and concluded that socialism was impossible in the US because the quality of our civil service was not up to it.  What it boiled down to, as I remember, was too much rigid bureaucratic rule-following and decision avoidance in the organizational culture.  Energetic and imaginative managers were more likely to be found in the private sector.
