House Republicans should include a battle against bureaucracy among their pledges for the 2022 campaign cycle, writes QuinHillyer.
The House GOP held a working “retreat” of sorts late last week to further develop their so-called"Commitment to America." The Commitment is a derivative but still useful policy agenda akin to the semi-famous"Contract With America" in 1994 that helped sweep onetime back-bencher Newt Gingrich into the speakership.
Counterproductively, House Republicans easily could fall into a useless bout of sloganeering and partisan threats. It all risks becoming an enterprise most voters think sounds like the “yada yada yada” of Seinfeld fame, not even really worth a mention. It would be both a major policy improvement and a political boon to pledge a major effort to reform the federal bureaucracy. Bolster IRS customer service sectors, not its auditing powers. Give the “Taxpayer Advocate” office real teeth not just to refer to the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, which now contains literally no enforcement mechanisms.
And, while the particulars of broader bureaucratic reform are far too complicated to serve well on a political postcard, a pledge to streamline the federal bureaucracy across the board can be made to sound serious, rather than like mere boilerplate, if candidates at least identify the laws that need the major reforms.
