Great! I hope they succeed.
I would still like to see a Trump/DeSantis ticket in 2024 and then 8 years of DeSantis after that.
Spoils system? Replace with his own”loyal” supporters?
Like he did last term?
Oh please. Come down to err and reality. Civil service commies.
They make it sound like it’s a bad thang!............
No, civil service became a bloated safe haven for political subversives to exercise power. If you want to do service, join the Navy. Kill this beast. Fire the top 2/3 of the FBI and offer a bounty to anyone left with the courage to point to, seek out, report the missing bodies. Do the same with DOJ. We keep feeding the cancer that is killing us.
Politicians are easily term limited by We The People if we would use our power.
What’s civil about it?
One thing we ought to give Jackson credit for, tough, is he did pay off the national debt (probably not quite completely, but enough to deserve an atta-boy).
Outlaw public sector unions. Make all positions in government ‘at-will’. Limit all government employment to a maximum 12 years. Eliminate all government employee retirement plans. They can invest on their own. No one should become wealthy through employment in government. It should not be a career.
The civil service is full of leaches.
Maybe 1/2 of them are professional, qualified, competent, and actually give a damn.
Many see civil service as an easy job with the ultimate in job security, great benefits, where with a garbage degree in sociology or divinity (as long as it’s some bachelors) and low productivity you can bring in an excellent salary for as long as you have a pulse.
Long gone is the era where the civil service lags behind the private sector. It’s for many a step up in terms of pay, job security, and benefits.
Good plan. Way overdue.
And?
Is there a problem with that?
What a load of crap “history”-—there never WAS a “professional group” of career govt. servants— What there WAS and still is in a now fully organized UNIONIZED un-fireable 100,000 + fedgov permanent employees/ and the Carter created so called Senior Executive Service (a built in wall of demonrat party loyalist whose goal has always been to control and stifle any new administration).
The original Civil Service which was honorable, actionable as to performance and pay and NEVER to be unionized (for that matter ANY govt. agency employee should NOT be unionized nor have LOBBYISTS to increase their numbers and payroll- as a POLITICAL group)— was by layers warped into the corruptocrats installed today. There are some few conservative true public servants who should be recognized and honored- because they really were. But one look at upper levels of many/most agencies and their 99% demonrat political actions— even while on the job and USING federal money from their ever increasing budgets- the problem is an Executive management textbook case right out of Harvard Business school or Wharton School of Business.
This article is a political screed blaming Andrew Jackson (who also got rid of the “BANK”- the 2nd National Bank private bank trying to ruin US Currency the responsibility of Congress— direct to the People) for something he did not do- except insert his own populism and cronies. The Civil Service later did not do anything different- actually codified and worse.
Civil SERVANTS. Not. Just a bunch of time clock watching, pension hoping drones. That’s why everyone who has become dependant on government money hates Trump. He wants to make the government run efficiently. Not like a personal slush fund for the workers. Sure, there are many truly dedicated government workers. I salute them. But the rest....unnecessary “make work” project.
They say that like it’s a bad thing!
Best news yet today!
Good. Let them get a job where they work for a living
The Civil Service is destroying itself by being partisan.
If it is destroyed it has no one to blame but themselves.
Unfortunately, a modern nation needs an apolitical civil service. How you keep it that way is the challenge.
