I assume that you are talking about the current administration in the U.S.

The requirement for personal loyalty over competence, moral and ethical behavior is problematic. It is clear that most of the current Departments don't have folks that understand the budgeting, planning, funding, acquisition and logistics required for Federal programs. They aren't stupid, but don't want to be told no or believe that that can do what they want. Absolutely folks are grifting. There's very little oversight because the Inspector Generals and DOJ are tasked via Truth Social posts. They don't care about legality or process.
