One of the great inevitables of politics is that those who cry "Cut bureaucracy!" usually cry "Why don't the Government DO something?" in the next breath. Sometimes in the same one, and with no idea of the irony.

It's not just "I want to pay less taxes and I want the government to look after me," but "and I want them to do it with no staff." (And no, hiring private firms to do it never works. Look at the private run jails.)
