[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think part of the issue is that most of the country is not even aware that USAID existed, let alone what exactly it did. I grew up in another part of Virginia and had literally NO CLUE about the US Fed Gov machine until after I graduated college. Even after living here 20 years I still barely understand most of the agencies. And I vote D! Imagine how the out of state R's must feel. [/quote]

I graduated with a poli sci degree. When I went to work for the federal government, very little of what I learned was helpful to me. Maybe if I had gone into public administration, it would've been a different experience.

I think you need to be inside the government to make sense of it, and even better to have experience across multiple agencies. At that point, there is a base of knowledge to make sense out of most things in the government, the agencies, processes, regulations, etc. It still requires a lot of reading and research, but I generally know where to go to find the information I need. Well, maybe not anymore. [/quote]
