'Hire the best and fire the worst': Trump proposes biggest civil service change in 40 years

WASHINGTON — President Trump will seek to "hire the best and fire the worst" federal government employees under the most ambitious proposal to overhaul the civil service in 40 years, officials said.

The measures will be outlined in the budget plan that Trump will send to Congress Monday, said four Office of Management and Budget officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the budget hasn't been released.

Trump foreshadowed the proposal in a line in his State of the Union address last week: "Tonight, I call on Congress to empower every Cabinet Secretary with the authority to reward good workers and to remove federal employees who undermine the public trust or fail the American people," he said.

Trump is using the VA Accountability Act, which gave the Secretary of Veterans Affairs greater authority to fire and discipline workers, as a model. The White House says that law has resulted in the dismissal of 1,470 employees, the suspension of 443, demotions for 83 others last year.

Well it's happening. And all under Trump. He's not alone. No one man could do it. The White Hats are in charge now. And the deep state is going down. (includes Obama and Hillary)

The best thing you can do right now Jake, is get out of the way. Not that you are in the way, just sayin.....

The problem is Trump has no clue about history and why the civil service was created.

Government was packed with neopotism (like his White House) and managers used their power to get rid of rivals and pack departments with political supporters and contributors.

I understand there needs to be some changes on how those not getting the job done have to be replaced but political appointees are not the answer. I suspect we can reform the system within the current Civil Service legislation.

However that is not what Trump wants. He wants to be able to hire and fire whomever he wants just like he could in his business. But the U.S. government is not his business, it is our business.

Based on the reality that the White House is in CHAOS, that so many key positions in Washington are unfilled and that there is an exodus of top talent at State, we should really be encouraged by Trump proposing the biggest civil service change in 40 years.

If things run true to form it'll be nothing but yet another embarrassing shyte show!

With so many key positions unfilled and an exodus of top talent at State...the economy and the world must be totally falling apart!!!

Let me take a look....

Hmmmm

N. Korea and S. Korea are talking to each other and there are no missiles flying around any more...

Mexico and Canada are giving massive concessions to continue trading with the US

Wages are rising

Our Military is as strong as ever and getting stronger

Stock Market the best of all time

ISIS is destroyed

US recognized Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel and hardly a peep of the crazy muslims in the middle east

Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and Israel all seem to be closer than ever and working together

Labor participation rate is on the upswing

The border is being controlled and reinforced

Domestic laws are being enforced

Black unemployment at record lows


Wow...everything seems to be going great! Maybe Trump should fire some more people!
