The only way we'll see accountability restored within the Federal Government is by writing our Congresspeople and/or voting in Congresspeople who will recognize that government employees are in fact the servants of the taxpaying citizens of the United States - their sole function is to serve the nation and the nation's (genuine) citizens. I don't think the Bush administration has woken up to the fact that Clinton had 8 years to corrupt federal agencies and Gore had 8 years to "re-invent" the way these agencies operated.

The Democrats in Congress are not going to allow a Republican to fire their buddies. Gov't jobs have again become a party reward for a lifetime of "correct" voting.

We might be better under the spoils system than the career system.
