:::::Progressivism began as Civil Service reform; it ended with civil servants handing out welfare and food stamps allocated by their paymasters (elected officials) in the name of "compassion" and "fairness" to buy votes, maintain power for themselves, and keep blacks down on the farm.

:::::Progressiveism today has nothing to do with Civil Service Reform - in fact it is dead set against it. Progressivism today is a struggle for control of the civil service. [[Obamacare]], for example, is a form of popular sovereignty; the idea that a one time victory in the 2008 election cycle can impose a spending program on yet unborn generations costing trillions to be administered by the progressive beneficiaries created by the Affordable Care Act, never mind the fact that the creators of this Spoils system [[boondoogle]] were booted out 2 years later.
:::::Progessives oppose Civil Service Reform; the [[intelligence community]] was ''not'' created by the National Security Act of 1947 and later reforms that created the Department of Homeland Security and [[ODNI]] to meddle in U.S. elections and decide who will be president. We're having this fight right now. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|De Plorabus Unum]]</sup> 14:36, 5 October 2019 (EDT)
