The true threat to American democracy isn't elected politicians, it's unaccountable bureaucrats

While members of Congress are held accountable by their constituents every 2 or 6 years, the millions of unelected career bureaucrats that run federal departments and craft expensive legislative rules that balloon our debt and burden our industries are insulated from any accountability with the federal government. These are the people who hoard and wield immense power in the federal government, yet there is little that can be done to reduce their outsized influence that harms our nation and strips power from the states and elected representatives.
