Reply #63: Government is like sausage [View All]

It's disgusting to watch, but tastes okay once it's done.

Our candidates are thankfully smart enough to hire good administrators-- people that are good at dealing with bureaucrats and know how to make sure policy gets executed properly.

The only reason I say this is that when I worked in government I had the (dis)pleasure of working for ex-legislators who were very good at creating policy, but were really reeeaaally terrible at carrying it out once it got made into law. Conversely, I also worked for a guy who ran for office unsuccessfully many times but who was a really good administrator.

Thankfully, most of the bad ones went on to become lobbyists. ;)
