Truth from Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, Father of the Nuclear Navy."Since the end of World War II, the number of high grade civilians in relation to the total (federal government) workforce has steadily increased to the point where we have more managers and checkers, than we have doers." "Our senior employees have been schooled in this 'new' philosophy which holds that, as long as a person is well-versed in a few simple rules of how to handle people and situations, he need not know anything about the details of the programs he is managing or the increasingly sophisticated technologies on which many of these programs are based. This has allowed the non-professional to achieve high status and high pay within the government. If trouble erupts, they can then blame those beneath them or those who preceded them. Until this false concept is rooted out of the federal government, we cannot expect the American people to retain their trust in government. In fact, they should not."
