Great piece about the challenge that administrative burdens pose.
It's not just a technocratic problem, its about the kind of government we want to have, and how we want to be treated by that government.

This piece quotes some of the smartest people I know about how to make government work (full disclosure, I married one of them).

Nodding along to @ElizabethLinos here. (Noting she has been promoted to "economist" - congrats!)
There is a growing coalition to fix administrative burdens. Academics can help, but we need partners inside government. For years, Nina Olsen at the IRS was making the case against burdens as the National Taxpayer Advocate.
The other part of the coalition for change is civic, who think about digital barriers in a way academics and government do not, know how to find and remove them. Hat-tip to the pioneering work of @codeforamerica & co-author @ericgiannella
