In reply to Francis W. Porretto.

It may not be sufficient but it is necessary, so there’s no reason not to do it, say, today.

Actually, I distinguish between the civil service, as envisioned in 1890 or whenever, and the unions for the government employees. Getting rid of the unions is uncontestably necessary. The civil service system may be workable so long as the unions are kept out. Not with employees who have experience in the unions, of course. All current and past government employees should be fired and barred from re-employment. (And the majority charged with crimes starting with time fraud and going up to treason.) Give it a few years to see if it works.

Error happened.
