> Seventeen of the 40 most senior staffers who served on the House Financial Services Committee in August 2008, as well as 15 of the 40 senior staff who served on the Senate Banking Committee at that time, later joined or took jobs representing a large financial institution.

So you train for many years and acquire knowledge of a particular area and then what? You can't actually make money from the skill you learned?

People get angry when tech companies try to limit people mobility, you really have to work hard to contort your view to see this as being any different.

Most governments actually spend alot of money on programs to get people from private industry to do a year stint with the government and then go back to private industry. They do this because everyone sees value in people moving from government to private industry.

If you are against this what measure would you consider to be fair that doesn't limit a person's mobility, wrt work, and helps get people who worked in government into private industry.
