   On Thursday, Tennessee Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) and Arizona Senator   
   Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) introduced the Chance to Compete Act, which would   
   require federal agencies to focus hiring practices on the skills job   
   seekers possess rather than whether and where they earned a college   
   degree, according to a press release by Hagerty’s office.   
      
   The legislation, which builds upon a Trump-era executive order titled   
   “Reforming and Modernizing the Federal Hiring Process,” redefines   
   “examinations” to include knowledge, skills, abilities, and competencies   
   while constraining the use of education when determining if an individual   
   is qualified, according to the press release. It also requires federal   
   agencies to review and update antiquated federal job qualification   
   standards and candidate assessments.   
      
   “For too long, the federal government’s hiring priorities have focused on   
   college degrees and institutions instead of if the individual is actually   
   qualified,” Senator Bill Hagerty said in a statement. “Federal workers   
   should be hired based on skills, not just if they have a degree. I’m   
   pleased to have Senator Sinema’s partnership as we seek to modernize our   
   federal workforce, which taxpayers depend on.”   
      
      
   Senator Kyrsten Sinema, Chair of the Senate’s Government Operations   
   Subcommittee, added, “We’re making federal hiring more efficient and the   
   federal government more effective by removing barriers and expanding   
   opportunities for skilled Arizonans who have the knowledge and experience   
   to work in the federal government, even if they don’t have a traditional   
   college degree.”   
      
   In addition to removing the ‘unnecessary’ degree requirements that exclude   
   otherwise qualified Americans from Federal employment, Kyrsten and   
   Hagerty’s bill implements best practices already adopted by the private   
   sector and will allow talented individuals who pursue apprenticeships,   
   have technical training and applicable background experiences to pursue   
   federal civil service, the press release notes.

   Bi-partisanship, meritocracy-based hires? It seems like common sense is   
   creeping into the Senate pushing aside the woke agenda. Are the adults   
   finally back in control? Congratulations and thank you to both Senators.   
   If the democrats don’t want Sinema or Manchin both should shift to the   
   Republican party. Schumer would lose the majority position; the democrats   
   would lose leadership positions on all committees. Such a move would be   
   good for the country. there would be no packing the Supreme Court, no   
   massive spending bills tailored to the radical left. The Senate then would   
   also check the jihadists in the House, it would be a much better Congress.

   You’re a sad little fellow William. You never got along on the playground   
   with the other kids very well did you? However, I think your wording is   
   backwards. It would seem that Sinema and Manchin are trying to get the   
   democratic party out of hell. D.W.O.O.H. (Democrats-wanting-out-of-hell)!

   Throw Sinema and Manchin out of the Democratic Party. If Sinema loves   
   Haggerty so much, she can get the hell out of the Democratic Party to be a   
   R.I.A.B.N. (Republican-in-all-but name)!
