Sen. Ron Johnson’s Battle for Transparency: Can We Trust Our Government Institutions?

Sen. Johnson rightly points out that federal agencies, such as the FBI and the DOJ, have developed procedures that insulate them from scrutiny. These protections have created an environment conducive to abuses of power and the violation of natural rights. The lack of robust oversight mechanisms perpetuates a status quo that impedes meaningful accountability, allowing bad actors in the federal government to engage in all kinds of malfeasance.

Johnson’s efforts to expose these inherent protections and abuses of power are commendable. Shedding light on the issue is an essential step toward sparking a larger conversation about accountability. However, real change requires a more comprehensive approach that goes beyond individual exposés. It necessitates a collective effort to challenge the systemic flaws in our political and administrative structures.

Unfortunately, this means that reforming the federal government at this point is not possible. The rot has entrenched itself into the system, and even electing a decent president will not be enough to fix it.
