Isn't it fitting that so many of those who have contempt for the private sector will soon find themselves back in it?

Some things are too important to be left to the private sector.
I am not someone who tends to advocate for increased government involvement in the private sector.
I think politicians get hamstrung by the nature of politics when the private sector can really do great things.
We've been so preoccupied with getting the government to behave in a fair and democratic way, we were not able to focus on the private sector where most of the jobs are, where most of the wealth and opportunities are.
It would be wonderful if the public sector were always great, or always terrible; or if the private sector were always great, or always terrible. Alas, reality is more complicated than comforting caricatures. Governments fail, and corporations fail.

It's so sad to see how few people in the Obama administration have any private sector experience.
You're not going to build private-sector jobs if you don't like business people.
