President Obama -- Executive and Judicial Branches:
Management reforms
" Eliminate all SES/Title 42 political appointee positions.
" Replace the EX political appointee's role from manager to administrative liaison with a permanent staff of department, bureau, and agency GS level professionals.
" Require that whistleblowers and other non-partisan professionals work with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to upgrade all non-partisan/technically qualified professional position standards on a par with the private sector." Require that all GS level civil servants who do not meet those upgraded OPM position standards be downgraded to reverse 2-3 decades of flooding the bureaucracy with partisan/unqualified people, solely to implement political agendas.
" GS level professionals who cut the government's operating costs will be rewarded and those who fail will be replaced.
" GS level professionals will work with government unions to ensure that those OPM position standards are not covertly undermined, as occurred with political appointees
" GS level professionals will review/eliminate all political/corporate booty-type grants and contracts that produce nothing of value and waste the taxpayer's money.
" GS level professionals will work with government unions to ensure that Congress' benefits are on a par with all GS level civil servants, no more and no less.
" Require GS level accountant/information technology (IT) professionals to: (1) design, test, and implement a single public sector accounting standard (and software package) for all governments, (2) work with the Federal Reserve Banks to rethink the idea of dollars that represent debt as opposed value, and (3) link the government's accounting processes with the Feds banking systems.
Congress' Government Reforms
" Require retroactive/fixed (12 year) term limits for all members of Congress; those Congressman who exceed that total (even if newly reelected) will face immediate/ mandatory elections and be replaced by the winner of that election
" Work together to declare the following legislation unconstitutional: 1978 CSRA, Citizens United Act, and McCutcheon case
Look at the above proposed U.S. government reforms and envision how these same democratic, cost-effective reforms can serve as a starting point for fashioning a single universal democratic government model (UDGM) that works for federal, state, local, and foreign governments, alike. Let's create a world where we (all citizens) work together for "our" mutual benefit, devoid of the atrocities that we have continually inflicted upon each other, complements of the world's self-serving and corrupt politicians/corporations.
