Summary notes:
Remember when we used to call government employees "public servants"? They're servants no more--now they're bureaucratic masters of the universe, claiming inflated salaries (up to two times as much as private sector employees) and early retirement with unparalleled pensions and benefits. And how do they spend their time? When they're actually working, they spin red tape and regulations that make your life harder (and their lives easier), your taxes higher, and your share of the nation's debt unsustainable. Like true bureaucrats they like to scurry around in the dark, doing their mischief outside of public scrutiny. But no longer: journalist Iain Murray knows all about bureaucrats and their lairs, because he used to be one himself. Here he blows the whistle on the out-of-control bureaucracy whose greed could actually tip our country into a financial abyss.--From publisher description.;
