That restriction seems contrary to everything else we are doing to increase efficiency and minimize waste in most other endeavors. How did this happen?

Do you really have to ask?:rolleyes:

Webster's definition (Ok, not really from Webster's):
Bureaucrat - (n) An individual or group of individuals who impart the most rules and regulations upon a constituent group of citizenry for the specific purpose of requisitioning and maintaining, from the tax coffers of that citizenry, the highest level of staffing payroll possible.

Not sure where efficiency or minimizing waste would ever come into play from a government bureaucrat.
