Are liberals really incapable of governing because they are blind to the inherent flaws of massive bureaucracies? National Review Online’s Jim Geraghty makes a persuasive case today for that proposition.

“In most professions, when you end up spending ten times what you budgeted, the consequences are swift and severe. Heads roll. Responsibilities are reassigned. Budgetary authority gets yanked. This, of course, is not how things work in the federal government,” Geraghty notes, referring to well-publicized recent cost-overruns on healthcare.gov.
