^ But, Chitown, I'm serious.

The upper echelons of this enormous and complicated government should be filled with experienced people. People that know the tricks, and know where the bodies are burried. Lobbyists, PACs, watering down legislation, and bureaucracies that drag their feet.

Down the ladder, I am sure there will be some fresher folks.

"Change" was only a political slogan, as we all know. I remember hearing that line for the 1992 election. I think Ross Perot, used it.

There is change. But it's not wiping the slate entirely clean with "outsiders" who come to Washington who have to spend a year consulting with people to teach them how things work.
