I suspect that most people do not recognize how terrible this proposal is.
It is a return to the patronage system of the 1860s where people were hired into and fired from government positions, not on merit, but on loyalty and patronage.
If you think the Federal bureaucracy is slow and sometimes indifferent now, just wait until those bureaucrats operate not out of concern for the country and its citizens but for their jobs and salaries.
