I have worked in the federal government and saw the debilitating effects of our antiquated civil service system on morale and results.

Stephen Moore

A merit-based system will reward great public servants, and getting rid of the shirkers will improve morale and the pride of our federal workers. It will attract better workers to run our agencies.

Mr. Trump's fiscal policies have produced more growth than Mr. Obama's because they were designed to incentivize businesses to invest, hire, and produce more here at home. The Obama 'stimulus,' by contrast, went for food stamps, unemployment benefits, ObamaCare subsidies, 'cash for clunkers' and failed green energy handouts.

Stephen Moore

That is exactly what Mr. Trump is: The working man and woman's CEO.

Stephen Moore
