Elections 2024 / Re: The Swamp Survived: Why Trump Failed to “Drain the Swamp"
« Last post by Maj. Bill Martin on Today at 06:15:22 pm »I view the "swamp" as the unelected bureaucrats who make and implement policy throughout the executive branch. So to drain that swamp, two things must happen:
1) an incoming president must fire immediately all political appointees from the prior Administration, throughout every administrative agency. That will likely cause some short-term chaos, but it will definitely be worth it.
2) reclassify more higher ranking civil service positions into political appointee positions so that civil servants with more discretionary authority can be replaced by an incoming president.
