I must have missed when the lawyer who was the architect of the ACA was elected. Did I miss John Gruber being elected to congress? http://www.politico.com/magazine/st...lip-flopping-architect-of-the-aca-109466.html
Or John Gruber, the architect of the ACA. But let's only have lawyers allowed to be elected, because of derp derp derp.
What I find funny is that some people seem to think that politicians actually craft their own legislation, or that judges write their own opinions. That's what staff is for in the instance of the former, and what clerks are for in the instance of the latter.
I thought we were talking about limitations on elected officials, based on the opening post. Sure, oil executives can be advisers or appointees, if that's who the President and/or congress think will help them do the best job.
Kind of fascist, isn't it? You know, big business and government so intertwined. It's no better if it's academics and government in bed together. If you need proof, there are $17 trillion reasons why.
Very. I see the common denominator there: government. Ergo, government doing anything is pretty fascist.
Now you're arguing on the correct side of the argument. Nice! I wouldn't call academic involvement in govt. fascist. It just isn't govt. of the people for the people by the people.
Nepotism is the real enemy. Roughly only 16 families have held Presidential office in our country's history, and the same is nearly true of cabinet positions and most other positions of power in Washington.
Well, you said it was no better than the fascism. That's pretty same-same. Pretty bold to say academics aren't people, though. That's racist!
When you have truthtellers like our last two presidents, who needs to rein in their power? [video=youtube;seAR1S1Mjkc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seAR1S1Mjkc[/video]
