How have nonpartisan civil servants in government changed according to Ben Shapiro?
According to Ben Shapiro, the supposedly nonpartisan civil service has become increasingly partisan. He argues that while they present a facade of objectivity, these civil servants primarily serve Democratic interests by continuously expanding their agencies, scope of authority, and budgets without proper accountability. Shapiro contrasts the perception of civil servants as apolitical government workers (like waiters at a restaurant) with the reality that many are 'deeply partisan' while claiming neutrality. He points to former Treasury Secretaries as examples of officials who enact partisan agendas while maintaining the appearance of nonpartisanship, undermining the constitutional checks and balances of government.
