This is the shit that steams me:
"More than one in four members of President George W. Bush's Cabinet have landed jobs with consulting or lobbying firms in which they can help clients navigate the departments they once oversaw, a USA TODAY analysis shows.
Michael Chertoff, who served as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) until January, launched a consulting business two months ago to provide "risk-management advice" to private companies and governments. His predecessor, Tom Ridge, also is a security and crisis-management consultant."

e.g. Ashcroft is working for companies that his own Dept. of Justice brought anti-trust charges against.
And while this is citing recent Bush admin people, both parties are equally guilty of this. This collusion between the private sector and insider knowledge of government is just a giant "fuck you" to us..
- and the current administrations lobbyist heavy core does as well, yes?zenmasterfoo
