From the actions of our so-called “Civil Servants”, I think that the total mess deserves complete and total destruction.
Schedule F is a correct, legal re-organization to reduce the vast size of the “eating out the substance” govt. busybodies and incompetents and more to the point— grifters and nepotists of every stripe. We’re talking 100’s of billions of poly-TICKs of fedgov padded agencies and sub organizationns. And don’t forget many if not most of these “enforcers” of what Harry Reid laughingly described as the “voluntary” Federal Income Tax system- many of these are double dipped or at the worst sit at home keyboard punching form filers who are paid 100K a year plus all benefits- gained by union lobbying of Congress. Just putting them into a federal “contractor” off the books status will not do— they have to be culled.
Schedule F is correct legal way to do this, and scares the hell out of fat, dumb Sisyphean -like (not truly as their “labor” is continuously renewed, never removed and always costing the Public more every fiscal year) sinecure holders of the People’s long ago lost trust. Period.
The jokers that posted this through microsoftnbc media overlords— they are the ones to make this effort fail every time the stone is rolled up to the top to be rolled off:
Sisyphus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisyphus
The civil service system was ruined by public unions.
Civil Service is neither
Defenestrate the mandarin class.
DeSantis has never actually done anything to destroy the civil service has he?
I do not remember this during his time in DC.
None too soon!
It’s what happens when you don’t fire anyone for 50 years.
Any bureaucratic institution minus a major shakeup in nearly a hundred years has become self-serving and corrupt.
Far far far too many bureaucrats have been in place longer than most any elected government representative. That should change. There should be term limits on all federal bureaucrats, who should serve at most no more than then years and in some cases no more than six.
Dims, Leftists and Progressives will complain that is an impossible task because there are 1.2 million federal civlian employees, excluding those civilians working for the DOD or the military branches. Our answer is that those huge numbers are part of the problem. We need leaner federal agencies whose mission is more narrowly “federal” focused and not trying to run and decide everything for the whole country. Many so-called “national” decisions and policies should be left to the states.
You don’t have to sell me on them. I am already a fan!
Sounds perfect to me.
Civil Service System = Administrative Deep State
Much if the Civil Service is hellbent on destroying the republic.
I certainly hope so. Civil Servics was originally passed to ostensibly deal with the problem of patronage and wholesale firing of government employees with each turnover of administrations. The medicine, as is normal with government problem solving was ultimately far worse than the disease it was supposed to cure. It created the Permanent Government that works for its own interests and often at odds with the policies of the sitting President. The goal is always increasing the power of the offices.
Well, it is 3-4 times larger than it should be.

Doesn’t look like much of war going on in Florida if those stats are accurate...
As FDR noted, They sit on both sides of the bargaining table!!!!!
A president has the ability to fire somewhere between 3,500 to 6,000 federal employees. The next Republican president should do that immediately after taking the oath of office. The Congress could do far more by refusing to fund the Departments of Energy, Education, Housing and Urban Development, EPA, FBI, and a hundred other worthless and criminal agencies. Our states could pick up any workload that was really needed.

AKA - the deep state, AKA - the swamp.
