- -001 Editorial: How Obama Needs to Change Management (Time.com)
- Joe Klein of Time magazine asserted that President Obama "neglected to mention the most vexing problem facing the federal bureaucracy (and the state and local governments as well): our antiquated civil service system. It is 130 years old this year, invented by Chester Alan Arthur to counter the near-universal impression that he was a hack politician, intent on handing out jobs to office seekers, as every President since Washington had done. It worked well at the time, and was a harbinger of the Progressive reform movement that changed the face of American government at the turn of the 20th century."
"The government is a different animal now, though. There are about 2.5 million federal employees. Some of them are brilliant at what they do–and they are drastically underpaid compared to their civilian counterparts; the vast majority, I would say, are competent. But there is a significant minority who are dreadful. Some try hard and are dreadful; others are dreadful by choice–there is no incentive for them to be anything more." 07-13
