Why did presidents dislike the spoils system?

A) Presidents were forced to hire unqualified government employees to repay favors from the campaign. This made government services poor, and made reelection virtually impossible.

B) The system produced rampant corruption, as presidents rewarded their supporters with lump sums of cash from the federal treasury. Doing this took money away from other federal projects that presidents wanted to do.

C) The system favored whichever candidate had the most funding, both personal and in their campaign funds. It gave an unfair advantage to whichever candidate could drum up the most money.

D) Presidents were effectively forced to hire people for government jobs who were useful in campaigns but unqualified as administrators. Presidents also routinely promised more jobs than they could deliver. They did both of these simply because if they didn’t, their campaign opponents would.
