That's not what that means. At least, I have never seen it used in that fashion before. Which amounts to the same thing.
"Deep State" is borrowed from the (past?) experiences of places like Turkey, where the security agencies retain(ed) power above and beyond that allotted to them formally, and/or reserved broad extra-judicial and extra-democratic powers for themselves in the constitutions they put forward. The American "Deep State" would be the national-security sector/military-industrial complex, not Social Security or Medicare.
Thanks for the clarification, some guy.
I think I encountered the phrase in a post on the Internet and took it out of context.Is there a term for the bureaucratic apparatus the Republicans would like to de-fund - the EPA, dept of education, dept of energy?
