Couldn't agree more, we have exactly the same trouble with the british police and NHS service, as the saying goes there is too many chiefs and not enough indians.
These middle management people just increase the workload of those below them, forcing more and more paperwork on the the people out in the field, and they get payed more than the people actually doing the job, so just think if there was one member less on each comittee there would be more than one more police man / agent.
if you disbanded a committee of twenty, you could probably employ another 30 filed workers.
comittees generally are actualy bad for the general running of anything.
