Article

   On March 27th, an article was posted about Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner and how he is going against the bureaucracy. Most governments try to bring corporate know-how to the political side of things but most often fail to do so. Some people's ideas of improving their bureaucracy are by "empowering task forces and technocrats, czars and commissars" and doing so has had little improvement of any sort. The problem with bringing the companies into the political spectrum is that it also brings along all its negatives like being subject to a free market and replicating discipline administratively.

   This article relates to what we are going over currently in class because it is about bureaucracy and how its changing and affecting our government. The reason the government rarely gets anything done is because it's hard to bring all the good aspects of corporations into the political spectrum without bringing many bad ones. Since bureaucracies are in charge of most of the dirty work in our government they can get it done as slow or fast as they wish with little backlash since they are doing what the government doesn't want to do. They essentially can do whatever, whenever without being affected themselves but in turn affecting the government's productivity.

   I think this article brings light to a subject most people I know aren't talking about. It lets people know all the bad about bureaucracies and how they can be ineffective. This article is important because it also shows that there are people who are looking for reasons why our government isn't working and is trying to find new ways to fix it and turn it into a functioning system that gets stuff done. It also helps people understand how bureaucracies affect the government and what they can do to our lives as citizens apart of this corrupt government.
