Kludgeocracy

[Xiahou]

I think the idea has to do with why the US seems to have a less efficient goverment than most of the west. Kludging by itself is something you'll get in all larger organisations, the critical is how you deal with it.

A major difference is that the USA was never designed to have a large all-controlling central government. It's taken a system of dodges, end-runs and dare I say... kludges to get us here. Congress can't transparently come out and pass the laws they'd like- they have to wrap them around frameworks that they don't really belong to.. like the Commerce Clause.
