Cronyism When Government Runs Business

When the government takes over business, it stands to reason, you expect bureaucrats to hire top officers and the board of directors. Why expect them to independently ask for qualified resumes?

Or not to appoint friends from school, or those with whom they party? Or look to lists of political contributors? Or possibly same party members? Cronyism is the password when government runs business.

And when you start the whole ball of wax, you make sure your party affiliation rules the roost from the start. That way the bureaucracy has your folks intact and ingrained in government, no matter which political party wins the following elections.

Am in describing what is going on in the Obama Administration with their executive appointments today?
