#12Future America will understand that you don't treat government like a company. The money government spends on salaries is money directly injected back into the economy, it could be seen as a form of social welfare.
"Future America" is sounding increasingly oxymoronic.

#14> The federal workforce should be comprised of employees who are reliable, loyal, trustworthy, and who strive for excellence in their daily work. Employees will be subject to enhanced standards of suitability and conduct as we move forward. Has there ever been a loyalty component to rank and file federal employment before?

No. Federal employees take an oath to defend the Constitution, not the current executive.
Civil service in the US has been neutral politically and merit based for the last 140 years. It stands directly opposed to the "spoils system" which awarded positions to friends, campaign contributors, family members, etc. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoils_system

There’s nothing in there about being qualified for the job, so this is definitely not a meritocracy play. The bit right after the piece you quoted is interesting: > Employees who engage in unlawful behavior or other misconduct will be prioritized for appropriate investigation and discipline, including termination. I hope they start at the top!
