Yeah, as K.T. MCFarland said, these permanent fixtures just sit around and say to themselves about any administration, “I was here before you came, and after you leave I’ll still be here.” And they know it’s the truth. So frustrating.
I’ve advocated for some time going back to the patronage system. Civil service has only created armies and armies of leftist elites rotting the entire government from within like termites. Bring in your own people at the start of an administration all the way down to janitor, and out they go in 4 or 8 years. No pensions and all that other crap.
Going to work for the government meant a temporary sacrifice for yourself. Now people go there to get rich, permanent benefits and enact a radical agenda and to be permanently insulated from the ups and downs of the economic cycle. This is so far removed from what the Founders wanted. It’s a tyranny that a revolution should’ve been fought over to remove. Trillions of dollars all over this insanity.
