Burea-what?

 

         In a nation with such a large amount of rules and regulations, it may seem impossible for a single government to maintain and enforce its laws.  How could just three branches keep an eye on the entire 3.7 million square miles of the United States?  People could be selling non-FDA approved groceries in New York, trying to file claims to federal lands in Washington, and illegally drilling for natural gases on EPA protected territory in Texas--oh, and there goes Mr. Jenkins and his dog jaywalkin across the street in Tucson.  In order to accomplish this large task, the government has developed a heirarchy and protocol to manage the needs of the country.  This system is called the American bureaucracy.

Watch typos (American needs to be capitalized)! But I LOVE the pictures, LOVE the tone...this is what we are going for (I think)! You MUST cite your sources (pictures are from where?)!
