Unfortunately, the "newsmakers" have minimal effect in
the near term; the beauraucracies involved have
inertia to beat the the band. (two examples: 1) Reagan
killes the B1, so USAF created the Strategic Program
Office, same people, same building, same contracts -
when it was revived, renamed again to B1, same people,
same building, same contracts. 2) Congress said no
mor U2s, so USAF built TR-1s and didn't rename them to
the U2 designation until the contract was complete.
Same plane.)

All this talk about "government", "USG", "TLAs" etc is rather unprecise, vague and general.
Can we compile a list of 100-200 persons that ARE the US government, maybe then we can examine the issues more scientifically ?
1. George mini-Bush 2. Collin Powel 3. Ashcroft, whatever the fuck's name is. 4. ...
... 200
