You assume the federal government folks are competent. Why?

Because in practice, the vast majority of Federal employees are honest, hard working people doing the job they were hired to do no matter who is President or who is in charge of the House or Senate.

But that's not really the issue. The stated goal of the Heritage Foundation in eliminating schedule F is to replace the current government work force with people whose main qualification is loyalty to the President rather than competency for the job. We don't have to know if the current workforce is competent or not to see that this proposal puts competency for the job at a lower priority than loyalty. By definition, that will make the work force less competent than one which can fire people for incompetency.
