Draining the swamp

President Trump Opens the Valve to Drain the Swamp With a New Executive Order

President Trump has signed an executive order that removes civil-service protections from certain positions within federal government agencies. There has been much whining and gnashing of teeth, but voters should be thrilled. Making policymakers in the Deep State “at-will” employees, who are easier to dismiss if they attempt to obstruct the duly elected president’s agenda, is a good thing. Not being bound to hire according to a career-progression ladder will also allow agencies to bring in new people with new ideas. This will be true whether or not Donald Trump is president.
