Almost as an addendum to my post yesterday, Public Citizen tweeted this list — it’s partial but awful enough — of who’s running our government agencies. Hint: they’re not what I’d call public servants.
An update on the corporate takeover of our government:
-
- A coal lobbyist runs EPA
- A pharma exec runs HHS
- An oil lobbyist runs DOI
- A Raytheon lobbyist runs DOD
- A Verizon lawyer runs FCC
- A banking exec runs Treasury
- And a failed mail-order meat salesman runs the country
