All of this reminds me of how my old friend James Bennett used to say that in normal times there is a “crisis crisis” in government bureaucracies.  With no crisis their chances of plundering the taxpayers with more and more budget appropriations is limited, therefore, they constantly work at creating either a real crisis or the perception of a crisis to eliminate taxpayer opposition to exponential plunder.
