Why we Don't Want to Give the Government any More Power

... because we get gobbledygook like this in our government employment forms.
Executive Order 12721 Eligible
You are eligible for this hiring category if you meet the definition below:

Applicants who worked overseas as an appropriated fund Federal Employee, while a family member of a civilian, non-appropriated fund or uniformed service member serving overseas, for an accumulated total of 52 weeks and who received a fully successful (pass) or better performance appraisal. This appointment eligibility is effective for a period of three years following the date of return from overseas to the United States to reassume residence.
In spite of mountains of rules and regulations like this, we still get people like Blago trying to sell Obama's Senate seat and Bill Richardson slithering out of DC leaving a trail of slime behind him.

Inefficiency and corruption! It's the Daily Double!

Because Blago-gate actually makes a hell of a lot more sense on a visceral human level. Everyone understands Quid pro Quo.... BuPers, not so much.
