In reaction to Gary’s blog about “Big Government” and Speaker Moore’s laughably large staff, here are the three popular theories in Raleigh today about why Republican leaders like the Speaker and Lt. Governor think they can singlehandedly solve the state’s unemployment problem by hiring everyone in sight:
1. Operating the government and understanding the complex issues in a modern North Carolina are simply beyond their intellectual ability to manage or understand. They can count votes and bully their colleagues, but they need all the help they can get to really do the work.
2. They are small-town folks who’ve never bossed around anybody but a law clerk and a secretary. It’s fun to have minions!
3. They don’t care what anybody thinks. They operate with impunity, without budgets and with no concern that their choices are in conflict with their principles.
