To reach beyond this current primary battle I ask you to imagine what the administration of your hopeful candidate would look like. Think beyond the various people in the cabinet, beyond the Supreme Court, beyond even the military commanders.
Envision what type of organizational structure will be in place, what type of systems, how these will touch the common American. I suppose that in order for America to become more competitive there will need for many changes made. This top down many layered beaucratic freak of nature we call our government needs to lose a few levels, become more organic and responsive.
I must confess, when I reviewed Obama's plan on integrating new web based technologies to garner input from masses, I was floored. It would seem to me that instead of just changing the people in our goverment we need to change our attitudes about what we expect, how we interact, and what we input into our government. Maybe we can change this garbage in garbage out (GIGO) senario we've got going on here.
Transparency with responsiveness is the key, if we truly obtain this, then we can all play a role in government.
