| The economy is a complicated thing. Presidents appoint a Cabinet to advise them on all kinds of economic matters. "[His Cabinet] 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." You'd think that industry experts in these fields would make for great advisers---after all they have real-world experience. Do Presidents appoint Cabinet members from the private sector, though? Most do.
For fun, compare the percentages by party affiliation over the past 50 years. Which party favors real-world experience? Which one values starry-eyed dreamers (college professors, taxpayer-funded organizations, union heads, ACORN employees)? Which would you prefer to have advising our President on the economy?
