The Government is inherently ineffective, and bureaucracy, as a term, pretty much says so.

Plenty of evidence has been piling up with regarding to it.

Feel free to down-vote, does not make your Nanny State any more efficient. :D

You should read more about economics. I can give you resources.

Bureaucracy, as per Weber, is nothing but the rational and impersonal administration of resources and exists in any sufficiently large institution, private or public. It is in fact so efficient that it is omnipresent to the point of being the defining feature of modernity, having replaced familial, personal or arbitrary rule.

Whether it's the old aristocracies of Europe replaced by the Prussian state, workshops replaced by Fordist factories, Guanxi in China replaced by modern administration, all of that is simply introduction of formal management and organization, i.e. bureaucracy.
