July 2010
Of Parasitic Bureaucracies
Posted by CotoBlogzz 04-26-2010 04:30 PM Updated Sept. 6, 2010
Rancho
Santa Margarita, CA -
We plan to update this
page from time to time - so stay tuned, or send us
suggestion,
We
continue to assert that California’s
Triple Threat is choking off California: 1)
Unions, 2) Lobbyist and 3) Parasitic
bureaucracies.
In the past, we have discussed the California
Law Revision Commission (CLRC), the Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO), and the Air Quality
Board (AQB) as an example of parasitic bureaucracies.
When
we ask lawmakers about what they intend to do about
the Triple Threat, with the exception of Craig
DeLuz, the silence is deafening.
In the case of Assemblyman
Chuck DeVore, the opines that there is nothing
that can be done, since parasitic bureaucracies are
not elected, but appointed – we disagree:
Lawmakers have the power to shrink government
or expand government.
Wit the recently enacted health care
legislation: From
lawmakers, to lawmakers creating yet more parasitic
bureaucracies.

Now
there is the Federal Deficit Reduction Commission –
This brand new parasite is being billed as a way to
reduce the national debt – the real reason intention
is raise taxes to pay for the legislation
lawmakers just passed, without being blamed for
having to raise taxes to pay for it.
And by the way, do you know who is in the
commission: Includes
the Most Frequent Visitor (MVF) to the White House, SEIU’s
president Andy Stern.
Other
parasitic bureaucracies include Fannie
Mae
and Freddie Mac –
Arguably largely
responsible for the housing market meltdown and
even after having bailed out, require yet additional
moneys – Did any heads roll?
SEC-
what can be said about the incompetence surround the
SEC that has not been said, other than the recently
unveiled Porno-Gate?
The Department of Education has been asleep at the wheel for more than 30 years leaving students unprepared to compete in the age of globalization and turning US education into a national security threat – not obesity as others claim. The Department of Education has been acting mostly as the Department of Mediocrity.

Parasites (US Congress & FDA) in our Midst
For sometime now, we have been updating our list of
Parasitic Bureaucracies to support our argument that
California and the country are in dire need of a
Bureaucracy Realignment and Closure Initiative- We
posist that such initiative, coupled with the Evil
Twins - the US Economic Triple Constraint: 1) Card
Check 2) Health Care and 3) Cap & Trade, and
California’s Triple Threat: 1) Public sector
organized labor, 2) un-elected, un-checked parasitic
bureaucracies and 3) lobbyists. is of national
security importance.
The
California Law Revision Commission and the Evil Twins
For years, we have been warning against the Evil
Twins: The US Economic Triple Constraint and
California’s Triple Threat - , with a message mostly
tailored to self-described fiscally conservative
legislators. We define the US Economic Triple
Constraint as 1) Card Check 2) Health Care and 3) Cap
& Trade, whereas California’s Triple Threat
consists of : 1) Public sector organized labor, 2)
un-elected, un-checked parasitic bureaucracies and
3) lobbyists. Interestingly enough,
one of the them told us we were off base when we
argued against earmarks, because the “percentage was
so small” he said – that was some three years ago.

As a past board member of a homeowner association with
over 140 members, I would like to ask why you have not
addressed Donie Vanitzian’s concerns. For example,
her statement “the proposed law does not impose
penalties on errant board members, establish a
victims’ restitution fund, or require statutory
warnings to new purchasers.” Our membership called
for a special election and subsequently voted out 3
board members who had not been representing the
desired interests of members. Instead they implemented
their own agenda without consent of the membership.

Apparently the Bell Syndrome is a pandemic sweeping
through Southern California. The Bell Syndrome is when
a parasitic bureaucracy becomes irrational and its
decision-making focuses strictly on self-preservation,
not unlike the smoke-filled back room negotiations
which concocted Stupack’s Soul Sale, the Cornhuskers
Kickback, the Teachers Payola, the Union Bribe or the
Louisiana Purchase in order to pass Health Care Reform
– more like Parasitic Bureaucracy Feed Reform. Or
what is going on in Agoura Hills’ Morrison Ranch
Homeowners Association, where the board is in essence
funding a $1.000 fence for a $1 horse, not to mention
the parasitic bureaucracy passing as City Hall in the
City of Bell, California, City Manager Robert Rizzo,
Assistant City Manager Angela Spaccia, and Police
Chief Randy Adams were allowed to have a combined
salary of more than $1.6 million!

City Hall and DWP – Poster Children For Parasitic

Friday, July 23, 2010, 6:22:29 PM
What does it take to terminate an incompetent teacher, or
a public sector employee for that matter? – an act
of God. Consider that of six DWP employees suspended
with pay, in April, 2010 after a KCBS Channel 2 / KCAL
Channel 9 aired an undercover story showing the
workers buying beer, drinking in a park, drinking
while driving and entering a strip club, while on the
job, said employees not only would have two weeks to
respond to the charges, but said employees would be
represented by International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers attorneys, the union that represents the
employees. If these attorneys are worth their weight
in gold, such as the ones used by the California
Teachers Association, chances are the employees will
not be terminated, and id they are, they can retire
with a golden parachute to boot.

Hate Crime and other Numbers can and Do Lie
Friday, July 30, 2010, 6:27:35 PM
Last week, Attorney General Jerry Brown released what he
characterized an "encouraging 2009 annual report
showing that hate crimes in California fell by more
than 20% last year”, but warned that “ we are
still a long way from ending bigotry and prejudice.”
According to the Attorney General, the decline in hate
crimes reflects an overall drop on all types of crime
in California. At about the same time, the
Anti-Defamation League reported a sharp increase in
hate crime incidents in California last year. Amanda
Susskind, regional director for the organization said
the trend was troubling and and blamed the increase in
anti-Semitic incidents, on the confluence of the
election of President Obama, the recession and the
Israeli incursion into the Gaza Strip.

time, as a number of Attorneys General and Governors

to join mostly because doing so politicizes the issue.
