I don't blame the rank and file for what happened with our government. The bloat was used to hide the upper echelon's theft. The rank and file were just working a job like the rest of us. The one fact that I do hold against them is that many are Democrats, and Democrats should have woken up long ago.
Well, what is that saying, something like when good men do nothing...
If they saw corruption they should have spoken out, and chances are they saw it being committed by their boss or higher up and said nothing. However, I do understand your statement and for the most part it may be correct. But when you said many are Democrats and should have woken up long ago-they are the ones I am speaking about who probably knew and did nothing. Go along to get along and get yearly raises-life is good!
I spoke out about a supervisor who was abusing their position to get the Government to pay for their travel to maintain an affair out of state. Unfortunately, I was a young, naive, Federal employee and didn't realize that one person CAN'T do anything about corruption they witness. (the person's supervisor was willing to accept that it was legitimate travel; what I didn't realize at the time is that if they had called the person out on this, they would have been held accountable for authorizing the travel) I ended up paying for that mistake by having my GS level frozen until I left the government, got a PhD, and went back to work in a different Federal location. The person I tried to get held accountable for the fraud later became head of a Federal agency!
it demonstrates that Lucifer does have dominion over the world. those who love their sin get promoted- by others who love their sin. this is the reason Christians get frozen out of jobs- ESPECIALLY federal jobs. Trump had to sign an executive order to reverse the persecution of Christians in government.
Most of the comments are brutal.

I am glad it finally worked out for you. As Tim Allen once said as one of his characters in a movie, "Never give up, never surrender."
Too bad, but it goes with what we are all finding out that the person who should have been held accountable became the head of a Federal agency.
