[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call your Senator - this exact issue was the subject of an amendment by Rep. Connolly in the NDAA that has already been passed in the House.

Thank you for posting this pp. I will call my Senator about it.

I am a fed in a policymaking managerial position, and I would certainly be at risk, even with 20 years in. Aside from that, all American should be concerned about Schedule F.  Our Federal workforce has its major flaws, but having a professional and non-political federal service is the backbone of this country.  I am so glad to see this legislative initiative bc most of the American public will not know/understand/care about the implications of this topic. [/quote]

I think it would be great. If you are in a “policymaking” position, you should be subject to democratic accountability, period.  It’s shocking how many people seem to feel like it’s ok that so many critically important decisions are being made by people with zero accountability to the electorate. The administrative state is beyond out of control and needs to be reined in.  And “non-political” is a joke, federal civil service personnel are Democrats almost to a person.  [/quote]

While everyone has personal opinions, we serve the administration.  I have worked at three high profile federal agencies - DOS, DOD, and DHS.  People all have their own personal opinions but we all make sure the work the administration wants done gets done.  I spent three years writing a regulation only to spend the last two years repealing it.  No workforce is perfect, but we are very fortunate as Americans to have a professional and well paid civil service that is accountable to its democratically elected leaders.  We policymakers see that the administration's policy is implemented, but that it is implemented in accordance with the law.  The civil service needs reform but schedule F is just firing people who don't align with your political beliefs and burrowing in your own people.  [/quote]
