President Trump's Government Reform and Re-Org Plan thread

[taxed]

The White House released the plan to literally restructure and reorganize the Federal Government. The document is 132 long, which obviously is a summary, so post anything interesting here.

INTRODUCTION
Whe n Ame rica's Founde rs wrote the Constitution, they laid out a clear vision for the Unite d State s
Government: to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote
the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty. Moreover, they established Executive Branch
organizations and structures to deliver on the Federal mission in ways appropriate to America's needs at
the time. Over successive generations, our Federal Government has evolved by expanding in scope and
complexity to try to meet Americans' needs. However, the organizational structures that underpin the
Executive Branch have not always kept pace.

Right off the bat, skip to page 68:

Restructure the Postal Service

Summary of Proposal: This proposal would restructure the United States Postal System to return
it to a sustainable business model or prepare it for future conversion from a Government agency
into a privately-held corporation. Like many European nations, the United States could privatize
its postal operator while maintaining strong regulatory oversight to ensure fair competition and
reasonable prices for customers. The President's Task Force on the United States Postal System
will make recommendations on reforms towards this goal in August 2018.

How many years have we seen the quarterly losses of the Post Office and thought how private industry could handle it? We're not in the 1800s anymore.

Something I've been worried about - our cybersecurity force. Page 108, on "innovative recruiting":

Developing Innovative Recruitment, Retention, and Mobility Strategies

As agencies prioritize their cyber workforce needs, they will likely need to adopt innovative hiring
techniques to ensure the best and brightest cyber talent can seamlessly enter the Federal Government.
To address this challenge, the Department of Homeland Security received authority, through the 2014
Border Patrol Pay Reform Act, to modernize the traditional personnel system. With this new authority,
DHS is working to create a new Federal hiring system called the Cyber Talent Management System
(CTMS), exempting DHS from many of the requirements and restrictions in existing law under Title 5 for
hiring and compensation of cybersecurity professionals. With an agile and innovative personnel system,
DHS will be better equipped to compete for cyber talent with the private sector—speeding up the hiring
process, attracting talent from non-traditional educational backgrounds, using innovative tools to assess
applicants, and offering more flexible performance-based compensation. DHS will also be able to align
prospective cybersecurity talent to the most pressing cybersecurity needs and will allow these technical
professionals to accelerate their careers as rapidly as their aptitudes allow. In order to implement CTMS,
by the first quarter of FY 2019 OMB, through its Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), will
work with DHS to promulgate the necessary regulatory notices. By the end of FY 2019, DHS will work
with OMB and all Federal agencies to measure the performance of CTMS and determine how to expand
the system so that all departments and agencies can leverage it to address their personnel gaps.

Wow.

Wow.

It sounds like he's destroying the leftists' university scam, where people were forced to undergo leftist indoctrination if they wanted governmental sponsored employment? EG. (Liberal Arts Degree) qualifies you for any number of Fed entry-level employment.

This would defiantly be "non-traditional educational backgrounds, using innovative tools to assess applicants,"
