Provocative in nature, this work looks critically at the
bureaucratic infrastructure behind the U.S. federal government,
from its origins as a self-governing republic in the 18th century
to its modern presence as a centralized institution. This
fascinating critique analyzes the inner workings of the American
government, suggesting that our federal system works not as a
byproduct of the U.S. Constitution but rather as the result of
liberal and progressive politics. Distinguished academic and
political analyst Paul D. Moreno asserts that errant political
movements have found "loopholes" in the U.S. Constitution, allowing
for federal bureaucracy—a state he feels is a misinterpretation
of America's founding dogma. He contends that constitutionalism and
bureaucracy are innately incompatible… with the former suffering
to accommodate the latter. According to Moreno, the leadership of
the United States strayed from the democratic principles of the
early founders and grew to what it is today—a myriad of
bureaucratic red tape couched in unreasonable policies. A
straightforward, chronological narrative explains how non-elected
bureaucrats became powerful political mavens in America. Each
chapter covers several decades and features events spanning from
the early history of the United States through coverage of the
Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) of 2010.
