Fried Chicken posted:Can you expand on that please? Ancedotal, however: Recently it was discovered that not only was an official waving fees and ignoring inspection schedules for money, he was also using government resources to do independent work while supposedly doing work for his regular job. He was caught for two reasons, one that he resisted any sort of connected software that could show what he was doing, so it made the places he could actually store documents for both his legitimate and side work very limited. Two he used government resources in a way that if anyone tried to do it by the book legitimately he would have to become involved and all the limited metrics from everyone else which would have been more robust and complete were never consistent. 5 years ago he would have gotten away with this indefinitely, only the introduction of tracking metrics to everyone around him despite his ability to keep himself unaccountable got him caught. I firmly believe that the entire government can be largely repaired with the same methodology, the corrupt and political don't like facts and data, it really breaks the ability to do things by feeling. ComradeCosmobot posted:Even if they tried they couldn't win. They are the minority party and control of the CBO doesn't depend on a President's signature, so unless you expect them to filibuster the plan, it's going to happen. I spoke with hyperbole but the most important thing for Democrats to do if they ever want to become an effective party is to make sure that facts and empiricism are respected. The act of the dynamic scoring being a rules change right now is a huge issue that could undermine the foundation of any good governance so they should be prepared to fight for the world not being run by what people feel like is good legislation like the Dodd frank repeals.
