Consider that government is part of the problem. Government needs to keep it simply with its focus on fairness rather than social engineering.

In the case with Paulson the government created a situation where a select few can take advantage of a loop hole intended to help people serve government without an appearance of a conflict of interest. However, they did not eliminate the conflict and they allowed an individual to exploit the rule without being in violation of any law. The best solution is not having people like Paulson approved for a position like Treasury Secretary. Congress failed in it role of checks and balances to the executive branch.
