All excellent ideas that should be implemented especially by Democrats who believe in government and what should be doing to make life better or us all. However the HUGE fly in this ointment is the proliferation of lobbyists and interests groups who would quickly move to fill all the slots where “professional discretion” would be the deciding factor. If we can truly keep a non partisan civil service implementing these suggestions then good. I’m sure you’ve seen the Project 2025 suggestion to eliminate up to 5000 civil servants and to install MAGA loyalists in decision making positions.
The fact you laud the Republicans for their suggestion without taking into account the above is troubling.
