Cynicism regarding bureaucracies

Reference no: EM13136158

News media outlets regularly report on incidents in which bureaucracies engage in corrupt practices, waste funds, enforce seemingly pointless regulations and employee incompetent workers.

Are Americans justified in their cynicism and contempt for bureaucracies? Why or why not?
