@H2O MAN,
The only thing I'll say is this....
The class war between govt. workers and citizen-taxpayers for sure needs to be eliminated, as does the idea of govt. workers being a financial buttress of the demoKKKrat party. But many if not most federal agencies are cliquish and often dominated by insider and old-boy clubs to such an extent that newer workers could not hope to deal with any of that as individuals. Without some sort of a union or something to handle labor relations questions inside of those agencies, whatever brains and talent there might be would all leave in many cases.
