Technocratic Institutions Pros And Cons

I think Blinder’s proposal of operating government more like the Fed is misguided. In my view, it would just lead to more politics in those technocratic institutions. If a technocratic institution’s proposal would still need the approval of Congress than the technocratic institution would simply craft its policies to fit the partisan stripes of the Congress. Instead we need the opposite; more technocracy in political institutions. I think people are angry with government, because they believe that politicians are resorting to partisan politics rather than weighing each issue in front of them based on the merits of the issue. Politicians should consult non-partisan technocratic agencies to help give them facts that they can draw conclusions
from. If politicians themselves took a more technocratic approach than I think their duties would not need to be outsourced to a bureaucratic agency. I personally find Blinder’s proposals to be elitist and antagonistic to the ideals of a representative democracy.
