Government (Part 8 of 9)

The American government, like every government, has its share of thorny problems. An increasing number of governmental agencies and government workers has created the problem of bureaucracy, where a mountain of paperwork stifles efficiency. Lobbyists make appeals to Congress on behalf of special interest groups. As a result, those with the biggest lobby—and the most money— tend to have the loudest voice in Washington.

美國政府就像每一個政府一樣,也有棘手的問題。不斷增加的政府機構及公務員造成了官僚政治的問題,使堆積如山的紙上作業扼殺了效率。遊說者為特定利益團體向國會上訴請願。結果,說官人數最多,即錢最多的團體,在華盛頓就有最大的聲音。
