> In 1942 Kilgore proposed creating a federal bureaucracy, responsive to the public Good luck with that. I have come to the conclusion that there is no efficiency or accountability without competition or severe consequences for failure (applies equally to the private sector). This is my problem with government support for "innovation." I don't think more than a tiny fraction of the allocated funds will actually go to that end. It would have to be run like a VC fund where everyone loses their jobs if ROI thresholds aren't hit, or gets rich if they win big. The government will never actually mass fire bureaucrats or pay 8 figure bonuses, so this will never happen.
