To the editor:
Taking emotion out of the corruption and fraud that got us into $36 trillion in debt, the theft was done by politicians that "we the people" elected. They are the culprits and recipients of the theft of wealth from Americans.
Yet the focus of wrath is the federal employees who are just performing functions established by their "position descriptions" that limits what they can do, which is endemic in a hierarchical, bureaucratic and civil service system that stifles innovation, "stepping outside the lines" and flexibility in human resource management.
The morass that is the federal civil service is due to the system started by progressive globalist Woodrow Wilson (Democrat) who also gave us the precursor to the globalist U.N.
The true killer is the DEI hiring and federal unions that protect the poor performers that almost can't be fired because they are minority hires or, in many cases, veterans.
Government is constitutionally chartered to perform “enumerated powers” only.
We have to look at the problem which is not all the people performing constitutional functions, it is the civil service system, DEI hiring and performing functions that are not inherently federal under enumerated powers
The fix is to do only what needs to be done (enumerated powers) by employees operating under the same rules as private-sector businesses with incentives and disincentives, including firing, to keep only the best.
The old adage that government is employer of last resort and close enough for government work is the systemic problem. If the fundamentals aren't fixed than the hydra will just reemerge if Democrats get back in power.
