    The hallmark of the American civil service has always been that we are able to draw the best & the brightest to serve our country. The federal gov’t must reduce regs & bureaucracy, or else we won’t be able to recruit the best anymore. #FederalFumbleshttp://www.govexec.com/management/2018/03/federal-government-has-gotten-slower-hiring-new-employees-five-consecutive-years/146348/ …

        Bull..45 and the Republicans are deregulating the earth and her inhabitants to an early death and that puts $ into your rich friends' pockets but doesn't do a damn thing to promote civil service. How do you come up with this nonsense???

        No worries! Trump only hires the best people, right? I mean, several have plead guilty recently, but hey, only the best.

        The current administration does nothing to encourage the “best and the brightest”.

        Dedicated public servants - best and brightest - are the only buffer against the buffoon in the WH blowing up the whole world.

        Name a few regulations that keep the best and brightest from serving our country? I'm curious . . .

        Can we please stop attacking Civil Service pay and pension? We also need to retain the best & brightest. Tinker AFB is losing a lot of talent because of this.

        Why would anyone, especially the best and brightest, at this time in history want to work with the current administration? Between trump & the @GOP our country, our planet are going down the tubes. It will take years to recover, if ever. Thanks so much senator for your part in it

        Have they factored the various hired freezes into these statistics? It’s hard to hire good people quickly when various blanket hiring freezes have made us unable to hire at all.

        Yes, because “the best and brightest” have always wanted civil service. Where in the world do you get this stuff?!

        When are you submitting your bill to add lead back into our gasoline? You're reversing Dodd Frank so we can have another stock market crash so I'm sure it's just a matter of time. How about those Russian sanctions the senate voted for 98 to 2? You're complicit along w Trump.

        Are you the best and brightest? Hardly think so. Oklahoma can do better.
