One very important secret when taking office: FIRE ALL THE APPOINTEES FROM THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION.
George Bush did not do this, except for a few in the DOJ, and it was an albatross around his neck. The State Dept, the CIA, the FBI, etc., all caused a lot of problems from the entrenches dem appointees. These problems could have been resolved if they had just removed all the previous appointees.
I hope somebody is reading this who can plainly make this point to the new admin. Because .. if we start this “reaching across the isle” garbage .. and leaving a lot of dems in appointed positions .. those dems are going to rip Romney apart just like they did Bush; aside from leaking all kinds of info about the new admin to their willing co-horts in the left-wing press.
I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, and that’s great.
If I remember right appointees go back into private practice or industry or business for the most part. For Democrats, they get into the selective service of various agencies in salaried positions that are protected by union contracts. Getting rid of all of them is difficult to do but I agree with you, do it anyway. If that means having to abolish a job position, do that. In light of SEIU, every cabinet position and agency should be scrutinized, looking for political crony Democrats who were hired and get rid of them too.
Romney will have to do this or suffer poor performance or agencies not doing their jobs. I remember someone saying, years ago, that the Secretary of State could not do his job because of the Democrats hired at SOS. I think it was Colin Powell who had an especially bad time there.
But, you’re right. Get rid of them on day one as quickly as possible.
Kabar probably has better information than I do.
