WE ARE IN NEED OF Continuing Education for Politicians Bureaucrats and Government Regulators

It is amazing just how many rules and regulations are placed forth by government bureaucrats and regulators demanding various professionals who hold licenses to go to ongoing education classes. Many of these classes are mundane, and more about demanding that the professionals submit to authority to keep up their licenses, than anything that can help the consuming public with important safeguards. In lots of regards as a business owner this totally irks me because we've bureaucrats in Washington DC, and at hawaii level making more and more rules and regulations each year.

It appears that they just can't help themselves, and they assume that anyone who violates among their rules or regulations is unethical, an evil doer, or trying to dodge their responsibility in protecting the general public. That's not the case, often their rules and regulations don't fit the circumstances, and the entrepreneur or business person is just attempting to service their customers despite all the bureaucratic nonsense in the way.

I've come to the conclusion through the years, and I've even brought this up at our think tank, that politicians, bureaucrats, and government regulators need to have ongoing education for themselves. This is because many of them have never run a business, or participated in the free market system, therefore they don't understand it.

As opposed to the business community getting angry at all the nonsense, why not just ensure it is mandatory that these people working in the government learn the ropes of real life. What should we be teaching them? Well, here are three items below that might be a good start;

1. Free Markets

2. Constitutional Refreshers

3. The Inefficiencies of Government Bureaucracies

Firstly, maybe they need some on-the-job training, and also work in a small business, and mirror as a temporary tagalong with an actual small company person to observe how difficult it is to perform their operation with all the current nonsensical regulations that are put forth. Then I believe they have to read Milton Friedman's "THE PROPER to Choose" and DeLorenzo's "How Capitalism Saved America," not to mention Ayn Rand's classics.

Finally, I believe these bureaucrats and politicians need to take constitutional refresher courses so that they don't promote laws which impede our rights as citizens, companies, or our right to free contract. You see, these people need to recognize that bureaucracies are by their very nature inefficient, and for that reason every time the federal government does more, they create inefficiencies not efficiencies in free markets. Yes, we need ongoing education classes for politicians, for bureaucrats, and for government regulators. That's only fair.
