The federal bureaucracy consists of the government corporations, the cabinet
departments, the regulatory agencies, the independent agencies, and the Presidents Executive
office (Association, The Organization of the Bureaucracy, 2019). In coordination with
Theodore Roosevelts New Deal, the federal bureaucracy became a part of the United States
Government. Two thousand agencies, departments and commissions arose from this deal with
the purpose of ensuring that the government works properly and acts in the interest of the
citizens. Citizens view government employees as unemotional bureaucrats who are ill-
tempered to listen to their requests. The United States government organizations are thought to
be filled with inefficiencies leading to fraud and waste and perceived as uncontrollable
(Johnson, 1994, pg. 1). In the eyes of most of the citizens there is a lack of level headedness
when talking about reducing cost or applying methods of solution that is reasonable for a true
bureaucrat. A character who does administrative type work for an organization of the United
States authorities is referred to as a bureaucrat (Association, The Organization of the
Bureaucracy, 2019). Is federal bureaucracy the “real government” is simply a matter of
opinion and everyone will have their own and answer
the question differently. As for me I believe that it is the “real government” and without the
bureaucrats fulfilling their commitment to the country then we wouldn’t function as well as we
do. Bureaucrats do the brunt of the work accomplishing a majority of the task needed to keep
the country running smoothly.
