if we cant kill bureaucracies (apparently we cant) at least we can somewhat limit the extent to which they can serve as independent power bases maybe

Even if one believes that 1st-best involves less bureaucratic power, one could say that in our 2nd-best world, we might want, as you suggest, constrained competence/continuity in some areas, but that in a number of areas we would be better served *at the margin* with more.

On the one hand, you don't want a Hoover or Sir Humphrey Appleby situation, but on the other, if you are going to pay for these complex organizations, maybe make them capable of actually providing some value? Maybe it carries too much risk, but the US seems out of whack on this.

I think we get that where it matters (Fed + military) Everything else is of little consequence imo
