Part 2/9:
The short story of this discourse revolves around the challenges posed by the bureaucratic landscape in Washington, D.C. Many of the regulations impacting American lives originate not from elected officials but from unelected bureaucrats—what has been referred to as the "managerial class." This situation creates a disconnect, challenging the democratic process. Laws should ideally come from the democratic system, where representatives publicly debate and vote on regulations. When regulatory authorities act without legislative input, it raises concerns about legitimacy and accountability.
