Really? So, those with interests in various industries, political causes, worker groups, environmental concerns, lobbyists, etc, etc, etc haven't always been the ones that the government turns to when it's doling out appointments? I guess I've been confused for the last 3+ decades that I witnessed and the other 20 portrayed in the history books. Should the government instead look to those people who have no interest, ties, history, or knowledge of that which they are appointed to oversee? I'll bet that will go over well.
Sample confirmation hearing:
Congressman: "Mr Jones, am I to understand that you've spent the last 20 years running a Dairy Queen in Sheboygan, WI?"
Candidate for Appointment: "Yes sir"
Congressman: "Have you ever taken a prescription drug?"
Candidate for Appointment: "No sir"
Next Scene, Mr Jones becomes head of the FDA. All America rejoices.
