Fire the Bureaucracy

I recently saw a political survey asking which political party do I believe would do a better job governing and what issues should they address first.

I think that one issue they should have put on the survey is Firing the Bureaucracy. Just because the elected portion of the government gets changed out, does not mean that the over all course of the leviathan of the government will change. The appointed and more so, the bureaucratic part is doing more to drive this country into the ground than the elected ones are.

The two prongs of the problem at the surface, as I see it, are those who see government as a make-work-program, and the unions who see the government employees as a power base.

The make-workers apparently see the government as a place to employ people permanently, and where they do not have the performance pressure of actually creating something or adding value to the world. They are instead part of one of the largest money-laundering schemes in history, and with the sheen of government it is legitimate.

The union apparently sees the government employees as a pool of power to build a base upon, and expand.

A below-the-surface issue is that the bureaucracy maintains ideological inertia regardless of the elected officials.

Solution to these issues: in my opinion, fire the bureaucracy
Compel the make-workers by the fore of the market to actually become productive and actually contribute value to society, as opposed to just push paper around.
Break the unions and their power mongering, in process allow the individual to be rewarded by his merit, rather than reward the least productive for hooking up with an external bully.
Get rid of the professional ideologues steering this country away from its constitutional foundation of freedom and justice for all.
