Light a Candle...

Merit has no place in Government...

Yes, you heard that right. Thanks to Amy Ridenour's post here, see the DNC blog here.

Accoding to the Dems, any attempt to promote government employees, particularly those in the Dept. of Homeland Security, on the basis of performance/merit rather than seniority, is a denial of their bargaining rights.

Say again??

I personally, especially since it regards our safety and security, would hope that performance/merit would always be the primary reason for offering promotions. Seniority should only be a factor if all other performance/qualification issues are equal.

This just goes to show that the Dems don't actually want the government to be effective, rather it is an entitlement program for the bureacracy that they want to feed.
