Writing in Reason, Justin Monticello makes the case that it’s very bad. It’s corrupt, politicized, and incompetent.
The public should place no trust in it, he argues.
Indeed not.
Now let’s extend the scrutiny to the rest of the federal leviathan. Most of the populace has been led to believe that the officials who work in the dozens and dozens of agencies are “public servants” who only use their supposed expertise to advance the welfare of the nation. We’re expected to trust them and obey all of their mandates and prohibitions. And that is a terrible mistake.
