Civil Service was a cure worse than the disease.
Govt unions should be outlawed.
Failing that, vigorous prosecution could make a real difference.
Civil service was instituted in the late 19th century to professionalize government staffing by Grover Cleveland. It wasn’t bad at first.
Even FDR said that unionization of government employees was a terrible, unthinkable idea.
But, JFK signed an executive order allowing it.
Many initiatives, over time, become the opposite of what they were originally intended.
I totally agree that unions should be outlawed for government employees! Teachers, too.
Civil service laws being what they are, one way around it is to spend money to save money.
Hire additional, sane employees to the EPA. Send the GW morons on a permanent fact finding mission to the artic circle. Win, win.
