#1 But before it could be implemented, Biden became president. He canceled it immediately, knowing the bureaucrats were on his side.

Nope. He is on their side. D-party represents, among others, the interests of the federal - and public employees in general. They're the real rulers.

#2 Congress can gut everyone's budget and insert instructions on the number of senior positions there can be. [just like they have done to the military since the beginning of the old republic]

#4 The Biden administration is setting a booby trap in case a Republican wins the presidency in 2024.

I couldn't disagree more. One of the first things I saw Mickey Kaus write was about twenty years ago - 'Do you know how difficult it is to fire a Federal employee?' This problem's been around a lot longer than Biden or even Obama, who padded the Federal payroll with a shit ton of his hack loyalists on his way out.

#6 At the end of his term in office President Obama moved a lot of his political appointees — who can easily be got rid of — onto the civil service payroll, where they became practically untouchable. They all boasted about it.

#7 This why government offices need to be moved to remote airbases in Alaska, with no internet. Let them shuffle paper until they get mad and quit. Oh and have weekly audits and supervisors who lurk constantly over their shoulder.
