@mikelly1128 Nothing short of profound reduction and rollback of federal role and scope will even put a dent in the corruption. The corruption in government institutions is inevitable. The ONLY way to keep a lid on it is to severely restrict what we empower the government to do in the first place. Only then do we have even a chance of overseeing everything, in detail.
We will never abolish these institutions. I doubt that the legislature will ever reduce these institutions' role or scope. There is no reward to a politician for doing LESS, and nothing but praise for doing MORE. So agencies and programs are spawned - and spawn each other - far beyond anything the Congress can HOPE to oversee.
I fear that the only way to get even close to the kind of freedom and individual responsibility we once had (for the most part) in the USA is if these institutions crumble of their own weight, and that's a world none of us wants to see. But it's coming. Stuffed-shirts will issue mandates, dicta, and commands, but there will be nobody to carry them out. Basically it'll be like the fall of the Soviet Union, and for much the same reasons.
Companies will scrap their EPA-compliance divisions, but they'll still make being clean a selling point, because customers want that, and they won't be shielded by regulators any more - the companies won't, I mean. People will generally be non-racist, but companies and institutions will eliminate the dead weight of their divesity-and-equity offices, because things will be tight, and they don't produce anything but problems, the same way political (communist) commissars sort of disappeared in Russia.
Same thing happened with the Roman Empire. Everything was outwardly the same, but if the locals didn't maintain the status quo, there was no maintaining it from Rome or Constantinople. The farther away from the metro centers, the less of Rome you saw. Like England as compared to France, the latter of which retained many of the trappings - and the authoritarian mindset - of Old Rome.
