Russia Cuts Bureaucracy Better than U.S.A.

It is interesting that Russia has actually cut federal government better than the U.S.A. during a recent period of 2008-2016. After 2009 Russia had a big cutback in the number of federal civil servants. They worked the Reagan ideal of reducing government size that Presidents Bush II and Obama failed at. G.W. Bush increased federal employment 17% and B.H. Obama 10%.

Russian government employs a lot of women now. More than 70% are female. The United States government is purging women with their numbers dropping down to fewer than 37% during the Obama administration. Men are being employed more; probably homosexuals in keeping with the Democrat Party orientation.

In the second stage of the reform of state administration that occurred during 2006-2010 the Putin and Medvedev administrations identified surplus regulatory functions and reduced excessive state regulation of business. That was, in theory, something President Reagan sought to accomplish too. The effort continues in the 3rd reform era 2012-2020.

Apparently Russia is working on an e-government and open-government to supplement the federal government and to input public ideas and try to be more attentive to public interests. The public initiative is a good idea if the results are public and if only registered voters that are verified sign in to vote on initiative suggested by the public. While they would have no legally binding consequence they would service to advise instead of biases opinion polls from corporations owned by the most wealthy.
