My God, this article is astonishing and appalling.
By stripping these workers of basic employment protections, Schedule F would undermine the federal merit-based hiring system. Since it was established 180 years ago, this system has helped to guarantee that professionalism, expertise and fidelity to the rule of law guide our civil service, rather than self-interest or partisan loyalty.

In the hands of an authoritarian president, Schedule F could be wielded to wipe out vast swaths of dedicated public servants and replace them with legions of unqualified hacks and sycophants.

This author actually thinks federal "workers" are worth something and that a federal job is not just a lifetime sinecure. We've got THREE TIMES the number of federal "workers" we need. Maybe FIVE times. The more of them on the payroll, but more they meddle in our lives, create regulations that strangle us, give away our money for utterly useless things and gin up bogus charges to put us in prison.

The proof that we have WAY too much government is the uncontrolled growth of the federal debt. That wouldn't happen if the number of federal "workers" was 20% of what it is today.

So many lies and also gag worthy. they want to portray Jan. 6th worse than 911. Too bad us citizens can’t sue these lying leftwing medias. they have become an enemy to us everyday citizens. I hope more citizens have woken up to this.
