Civil service now there is a “reform” that backfired. Chester Arthur’s folly. I’m with you 100% on that, the damn government worker unions and career bureaucrats are perhaps our biggest problem. They are all 100% loyal to the left and there’s not damn thing we can do cause they can’t be summarily canned.
The idea doesn’t seem to be on anyone’s radar.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand the reasoning behind it and the national impetus to push for it following Garfield’s assassination (although just because a job-seeking lone nutter did a heinous act shouldn’t have been the main motivating factor). What I’m not sure is how many could’ve envisioned that replacing patronage with what turned out to be armies of government bureaucrats whom are almost impossible to terminate.
