The New York Times' David Brooks uses his column today to tell the country that K Street lobbyists are the most qualified people in America to fix the economy. I'm not making this up:
I fear that in trying to do everything at once, [the Obama administration] will do nothing well. I fear that we have a group of people who haven't even learned to use their new phone system trying to redesign half the U.S. economy. I fear they are going to try to undertake the biggest administrative challenge in American history while refusing to hire the people who can help the most: agency veterans who are registered lobbyists.
That's Establishment opinion distilled into pure form. Indeed, only in Washington, D.C. could someone argue that following the Bush/Abramoff era, lobbyists are the most equipped to fix our country.
