Glenn Beck recently rolled off the historical percentages of the number of cabinet office holders with past private sector experience -- those with real-world experience and not just government jobs:
Roosevelt - 38%
Taft - 40%
Wilson - 52%
Harding - 49%
Coolidge - 48%
Hoover - 42%
FDR - 50%
Truman - 50%
Eisenhower - 57%
Kennedy - 30%
LBJ - 47%
Nixon - 53%
Ford - 42%
Carter - 32%
Reagan - 56%
GHWB - 51%
Clinton - 39%
GWB - 55%
Obama - 8%
Only 8% of Obama's cabinet has worked in the private sector, and these are the people coming up with ideas for spurring job growth! Yikes. You think their ideas may be a tad rooted in government intervention and growth of the public sector?
That's a stunning number to me.
