A friend sends along the following chart from a J.P. Morgan research report. It examines the prior private sector experience of the cabinet officials since 1900 that one might expect a president to turn to in seeking advice about helping the economy. It includes secretaries of State, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Energy, and Housing & Urban Development, and excludes Postmaster General, Navy, War, Health, Education & Welfare, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security—432 cabinet members in all.
When one considers that public sector employment has ranged since the 1950s at between 15 percent and 19 percent of the population, the makeup of the current cabinet—over 90 percent of its prior experience was in the public sector—is remarkable.
There’s an upside to this.....perhaps.
These clowns have no experience to fix the economy.
Hopefully we use massive unemployment as the nuclear weapon to take out Democrats in 010 and force gridlock.
Wouldn’t want anyone tainted with filthy lucre.
Yeah, they don't know how to load a gun.
a very revealing graphic
“There’s an upside to this.....perhaps.”
Although, this may be true; the American citizenry and taxpayer will be paying for their incompetence, fiduciary negligence and irresponsibility for a long time to come…while these charlatans are exempt from their political corruption and rewarded with wealth.
