Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. The American people have more than fulfilled their civic duties and voted the bad guys out and the supposed good guys in, with one major problem! The bad guys included both the richest 1%’s Republicans and Democrats who have already destroyed the American people’s democracy and stolen $36+ trillion of their tax dollars. The accuracy of this statement was recorded during the 2024 election when America’s voters were forced to choose between 2 Presidential candidates (Trump and Harris) who had both promised a strong economy when both they and their parties had already created today’s weakened economy with their self-inflicted $36+ trillion debt problem. A post 2024 survey revealed that 76% of America’s voters didn’t like either candidate, and only because both parties’ politicians had been lying to them over the last 47 years (1978 – 2025). This undemocratic travesty is not going to change unless America’s 99% demand the government reforms needed to make their government work for them, and no longer for the richest 1%’s politicians and corporations that currently control every facet of their government’s operation, also llegally and unconstitutonally! 

This effort begins with Congress’ 3rd civil service reform to undo what both parties have already unconstitutionally done over the last 47 years, also covered in this website’s Blog, Home, and Financial & Economic Collapse pages. That is, change politically loyal civil servant executive branch that was loyal to all 7 prior Presidents (including Donald Trump) and its 8th President back to  apolitical, technically qualified, and that is (once again) unbeholden to no President, including America’s 8th President, Donald Trump. Also, based upon the information discussed in this website’s prior Blog, Home, and Financial & Economic Collapse pages, it becomes clear that for this American democracy to be credible, sustainable, and cost effective, America’s 99% must have access (real time) to:

• (1) accurate information to unite them with the truth, and that both parties’ prevented with their richest 1%’s creation of their 2 opposing liberal and conservative media’s political analysts to instead divide and distract them over their need to demand major government reform
• (2) an accurate accounting of how each President spends the American people’s tax dollars, the most basic fiduciary duty there is for a democracy, and that 47 Presidents and 119 Congresses have illegally and unconstitutinally prevented for 236 years (1789 – 2025).  

Congress’ 3rd civil service reform is needed to prevent President Donald Trump from firing any future federal employees, and to return all fired civil servants back to their jobs. Why? Because the AFGE’s civil servant employees, their still-remaining qualified civil servant managers, and its whistleblowers are key to restructuring the U.S. government, not with a chainsaw, but in a responsible and logical manner. As also noted in this website’s Blog page, Congress’ 3rd civil service reform must also include additional checks and balances to expose all levels of waste on a real time basis, not a 46-year/$36+ trillion debt spike, after the fact. This effort will require a 2-part process: (1) recreating a legally required apolitical, technically qualified civil servant executive branch that is once again unbeholden to no President, and the reduction of each President’s loyal political appointees from 4 (or more) levels back to just 1 level (per Congress’ 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act), and (2) that now legally and publicly questions:

Congress’ lawless laws (1978 CSRA), the President’s, or their political appointee’s lawless acts, the U.S. Supreme Court’s unconstitutional decisions (like making all Presidents immune from prosecution), and new antitrust laws to prevent America’s politicians from recreating other capitalist versions of their state-controlled medias.
That is, where the richest 1%’s media moguls (Ruppert Murdoch, Jeff Bezos, others) and their social media moguls (Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk) cover-up both their and their richest 1%’s politicians, political appointees, lobbyists, and contractors lawless acts!
Congress’ 3rd civil service reform must also legally require the money (audit) trails needed to accurately account for how each President spends the American people’s tax dollars. This undemocratic travesty has existed for 236 years (1789 – 2025) and is now key to cutting 25% and more in political and corporate waste from today’s $6.75 trillion federal budgets

 

(2) Create a bottoms up more democratic form of government (3rd civil service reform) that rescinds its prior 2 civil service reforms and that includes the following 2 part process: (1) Recreate a technically qualified civil servant executive branch, starting ASAP, to restore the 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act and its USCSC’s checks and balances, and (2) Use that newly recreated technically qualified civil servant executive branch to legally and publicly question:

• (a) Congress’ past, current, and future laws, (b) the President’s and their political appointee’s actions (reduced from 4 levels to 1 level), and (c) the judicial branches interpretations of the law, including the U.S. Supreme Court, and

• • including all distortions of the truth by America’s 1%’s richest media friends, like Rupert Merdoch, Jeff Bezos/others,

• • • also yet to be held legally and financially accountable for their gross levels of misinformation that enriched themselves and America’s politicians. 

• (b) An integral part of Congress’ 3rd civil service reform should also include the creation of a single 20-page (or smaller) U.S. Constitutional booklet that legally defines how the U.S. government operates, and with an open public acknowledgement that all changes, by either party, must include the republishing of a new U.S. Constitutional booklet. 

Given the absence of a constitutionally required technically qualified civil servant executive branch, those 47 named whistleblowers are now key to creating a better, stronger, and cost-effective democracy, and for the following reasons: (1) they know which laws to keep and to rescind, (2) they know which civil servants and political appointees broke the law and who are also legally and financially culpable for their crimes, (3) they can define the technical educational requirements for all civil servants, and that had once existed prior to Congress’ 1978 CSRA, (4) they know the strategies to create the bottoms up, more democratic infrastructures that are needed to expose all levels of political and corporate waste on a real time basis, not a 46 year/$35+ trillion dollar debt spike, after the fact, and (5) they also know how to responsibly and gradually decrease the U.S. government’s numbers of contractors to return those jobs back to civil servants, also key to decreasing these untenable trillion-dollar debt spikes.

Based upon that accountant whistleblower’s information, that was covered in this website, he identified how Congress’ 1978 Civil Service Reform Act’s newly created Office of Personnel Management (OPM) was used to eliminate the (pre 1978 CSRA’s) college degree requirement from 4 prior government service (GS) position standards, as follows: electrical engineers (GS-???), accountants (GS-510), auditors (GS-511), and information technology (GS-343) positions. However, he believes that the dumbing down of these 4 OPM position standards now covers the full gamut of the U.S. government’s operation, and that has now infected (politicized) entire departments, bureaus, and agencies, like both parties’ lucrative Department of Homeland Security.

Given the urgency of recreating a technically qualified GS civil servant executive branch, starting ASAP, that effort now requires the following 4 concurrent actions: (1) Those 4 dumbed down OPM professional position standards must be upgraded, to include those college degree requirements. (2) OPM must be legally required to complete a review of all federal professional position standards, and that must be made publicly available to the American people. (3) All OPM position standards that are not equivalent to their prior 1978 CSRA requirements and the private sector’s equivalent educational requirements must be upgraded, and republished for the American people. (4) All employees who are currently filling those higher professional positions, but lack the college degree requirements of those prior 1978 position standards, should be given the option of retiring at their higher (and undeserved GS grade and salary) or being demoted based upon their current educational qualifications. This action is necessary to change the executive branch from unqualified back to qualified, starting ASAP, and to recreate the checks and balances of educating each new President and their political appointees, as did exist up until Congress’ 1978 Civil Service Reform Act, and its deregulation, privatizing, outsourcing federal scam. This is also why all 47 whistleblower’s input is necessary to address their specific technical issues of the U.S government’s operation, this time openly and publicly, no longer filtered and covered-up by America’s richest 1% politicians. 

Based upon the information discussed in this website, and the need to eliminate 235 years 1789 – 2024) of both parties’ smoke in mirrors that were included in Congress’ 2 civil service reforms, the following 23 Citizen Based Government Reforms (CBGRSs) are offered as a starting point to include in Congress’ 3rd civil service reform. That includes restoring our Forefather’s most basic Bill of Rights (1st 10 Amendments to the U.S. Constitution), that 13 Congresses and 7 Presidents (including Donald Trump) have already destroyed, still under America’s richest 1%’s politicians version of the “American people’s” democracy: 

• • (1) Legally require the permanent end to America’s deregulation, privatizing, and outsourcing federal scam, that has already crashed 13 citizen’s governments, now inflicted on America’s 99%, and a wakeup call for citizens (worldwide) to work together to create the necessary checks and balances to manage the world’s richest 1%’s blatantly dishonest and morally bankrupt politicians.

• • • That effort begins with America’s 99%’s demands to hold their richest 1% also blatantly dishonest and morally bankrupt politicians and corporate executives legally and financially accountable for their crimes against Americans and our fellow citizens (worldwide), including jail time. 

• • (2) Automatic recall vote for any politician, political appointee, judge, or Supreme Court Justice who fails to uphold our Forefather’s first ten Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the American people’s Bill of Rights, and their most basic democratic rights, all violated by the last 7 Presidents, Congress, and U.S. Supreme Court Justices.

• • (3) Voter-based change – require that the winner of all presidential elections are based upon the popular vote and not our Forefather’s rigged an outdated Electoral College process.

• • (4) Campaign finance reform – fund all federal campaigns with fixed dollar amounts of the tax payer’s dollars, and get lobbyists and SuperPacs out of the business of corrupting America’s easily corruptible politicians.

• • (5) Automatic loss of office, fine and penalties ​for any public official who gets elected on a specific promise and then blatantly ignores that promise after they are elected, like President Barack Obama with his failed promise of an “open, transparent, accountable government” or President Donald J. Trump with his also failed promise to “Make America Great Again.”​

• • • This same requirement must also apply to U.S. Supreme Court Justices who lie to Congress regarding their promises to uphold the Constitution (like Rowe v. Wade), and then conveniently change their minds after their appointments, and that occurred with the last 3 U.S. Supreme Court appointments, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.​

• • (6) End the practice of having 2 liberal and conservative media sources that are controlled by politicians and corporations, America’s capitalist version of a state-controlled media, not unlike Putin’s Russian dictator, only now under the richest 1%’s version of the “American people’s” democracy.

• •  (7) Rescind Congress’ March 2022 “new set” of laws that created 7 politicized and beholden groups to the President, also the antithesis of our Forefather’s 1883 Pendleton Act and USCSC that legally allowed whistleblowers, like Ernie Fitzgerald, to speak truth to President Richard M. Nixon, then undermined by the last 7 Presidents and Congress.

• • (8) Term limits for members of Congress – require that any Congressmen/women who exceed a fixed term limit, 2 six-year terms for the Senate, and 6 two-year terms for the House of Representatives (or some acceptable timeframe) must leave his or her office.

• • (9) Term limits for federal court judges and U.S. Supreme Court Justices – to depoliticize the judicial branch.

• • (10) Require that all judicial branch appointments be approved by both the Senate and the House of Representatives to better represent the American people.

• • (11) Require a permanent end to Congress’ interference with the executive branches’ federal accountants, and that did occur with its Budget and Accounting Procedures Act of 1950, Congressional Budgeting Office (CBO) in 1974, and more recently with Congress 1990 Chief Financial Officers Act

• • • GAO’s 2021 testimony confirms that President Joe Biden can still spend his $6+ trillion federal budgets, still no money (audit) trails, and no way for the American people to know how their tax dollars are spent, ditto for the 47th President (Donald Trump).

• • (12) Require an end to the legislative/executive branches’ 235 year “budgeting” policies that conveniently allows all accounting data to be deleted from the U.S. government’s books to illegally and unconstitutionally hide how America’s Presidents spend their citizen’s tax dollars,

• • • also recorded in a letter to the late Senator Fred Thompson, by the above noted accountant whistleblower..

• • (13) Eliminate Congress’ 4 executive branch offices that Congress’ 1978 Civil Service Reform Act created to protect whistleblowers but that both parties then used to eliminate those whistleblowers, and that includes the Merit Systems Protection Board, Office of Personnel Management, Office of Special Counsel, and Federal Labor Relations Board.

• • ​(14) Rescind Congress’ meaningless whistleblower protection legislation, and its meaningless 1883 Pendleton Act, 1978 CSRA, and 1989 Whistleblower Protection Act, that the last 7 Presidents have violated now for 46 years, with the full knowledge and consent of Congress, then covered-up by both parties’ politically controlled liberal and conservative media sources.

• • (15) Legally prevent the AICPA from any future involvement within the public sector given their AICPA controlled boards, like the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) and its state/local Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) to prevent an accurate accounting of the American people’s federal, state/local tax dollars.

• • (16) Legally require political appointees to report their President’s lawless acts to the Department of Justice, or be held legally accountable for failing to do so, instead of writing their tell-all books, enrich themselves, and where those corrupt politicians (and those political appointees) are never held legally and financially accountable for their crimes.

• • (17) Legally require the loss of all book profits from political appointees who fail to report their President’s lawless acts, solely to enrich themselves.

• • (18) Amend the U.S. Constitution to prevent presidents from firing U.S. Attorneys for any political reason, other than their lawless and unconstitutional actions.

• • (19) Congress gets the same retirement and medical benefits as federal civil servants, no more, and no less.​

• • (20) Future Presidents, members of Congress, or any federally-employed manager can no longer hire family members,​ at any level.

• • (21) Rewrite the 1863 False Claims Act as it was in the days of Abraham Lincoln, and not the watered-down version as it is today where politicians are now in bed with both parties’ lobbyists and contractors, also no time frame for prosecuting corrupt contractors.

• • (22) Legally prevent civil servants from being furloughed for political reasons to prevent self-serving politicians from using federal civil servants as pawns in their never-ending political power struggles between all 3 “not so independent or democratic” branches of the U.S. government.

• • (23) Rescind all President’s pardon rights while in office or upon leaving office as it makes a mockery of the law and another power that Presidents should never have had.
