Reach the head of the line at immigration at Beijing airport and you see something unexpected: On a little ledge just below the officer’s line of sight is a small machine showing an array of buttons. Atop the buttons is a legend inviting travelers to rate the work of the officer: very satisfactory / satisfactory / not satisfactory / slow or rude. As soon as the officer places his or her stamp in the passport, the buttons go active.

It’s much harder to do that with public employees because they have strong unions. And the public-employee unions were among Obama’s biggest backers.
You want to institute accountability for public employees, you’ll have to wait till we get another President with the guts to stand up to public employees the way Reagan fired the air traffic controllers. As long as the POTUS is owned by the public employee unions, we can forget about accountability for public employees.
