I don't agree with you about your "Swamp bureaucrats".  There are millions of people who go to work every day and keep the government running despite the politics, politicians and political appointees.  they are the people that are supporting the troops, keeping them supplied, answering questions at the IRS and social security and various other agencies.  Yes, there are people in the system that you hear about that do wrong, but they are not the vast majority.  There are poeple at the NSC that are working hard on difficult international issues.  the worst are the political appointees who get placed for political loyaty.  They have no idea what they are doing, and once they do, they generally leave to make more money.  They are the worst.  Most of them don't have a clue, but they try to impact a system and polcies of which they have minimal understanding.  

You are entitled to your opinion but I suspect that your experience is quite limited - dealing with low grade clerks and watching those that screw up, publicly.  But they are the rarity.
