Expecting Little, Getting Little

We expect very little from the GSA, and we get it. The GSA culture on display in the planning, execution, and celebration of their infamous $800,000 Las Vegas conference was the inevitable result of the permissive "you'll die before you can get fired" culture that predominates many federal bureaucracies. The GSA'ers are fat, dumb, and happy in their jobs and have no interest in being responsible stewards of the public purse. Like so many other dysfunctional agencies, GSA should be disbanded entirely, which can be done without much effect on anything else.
The GSA scandal gives the lie to the liberal ideology. More government isn't better government. More government, and an ever-expanding unaccountable bureaucracy, means more waste, fraud, and misbehavior by civil servants who don't believe they'll ever be fired for bad job performance.

This is too broad a brush, but tells the truth of the matter.  More government is not better government, and the more greater the sense of significance government people have, the more likely they are to act as if they deserve special treatment.  Accountability is everything, and government doesn't account for itself well at all - no matter how badly it is done, government just keeps getting bigger.
