This brings me to the point of this post. The revolving door between Wall Street and Washington, and the one going from Washington to private defense has got to stop. Do I think it is value to have these people who are experts in the field working in regulation/advising the best way to defend our nation? Yes. Do I think the downsides of these relationships outweigh the positive returns? Yes. Do I think it is the only way to keep these respective entities as world leaders? No.
downsides = they are paid more than you?
ReplyDeletewould love to see some data showing that they are paid "too much" as i infer you are trying to say
You're wrong. downsides = misallocation of resources due to conflicts of interest. Economic, procedural, and more ubiquitous misallocation of finite resources (in a time when we can least afford them due to structural deficits).
ReplyDeleteya we should allocate those resources to mexicans in high desert for more foodstamps
