Schedule F
Currently about 4000 of all our federal employees are replaced each time the President changes. These people have the same ideals and in charge of implementing the plan of the new administration.
Schedule F looks to expand that the employee level / policy makers in order to change policy of said organization to be instantly in line with the new Presidents ideals.
Why is this bad?
- Look up the “spoils system” we used until the mid 1800s. It was corrupt and the people doing the job were not qualitied, they were friends and people owed favors, etc.
- Take an objective look at this Trump administrations appointments and we can see an example of that.
- Having wildly changing policy every 4-8 years is too much of a strain on everyone affected by every government agency. Just like our agreements with other nations tend to end and restart radically for this reason, we do not want the same for every internal agency in our government.
