Assignment task:
Hypothetically, if you had to choose, which part of the federal bureaucracy would you like to work for? (Make sure to identify the department/agency correctly by its name). Explain your choice.

What is the difference between a government bureaucrat and a politician? List at least two meaningful differences.
Do you think our federal government is too big? Why? If you think it's too big, how would you go about reducing it, or what programs/department/agencies would you eliminate? If you think it's too small, what programs/services would you add? Be detailed in your answer by identifying specific programs/services and measures of reducing/expanding bureaucracy.
