Entrepenuer?

I guess under the current definition that would be investment banker who takes other people's money and puts it at risk underwriting ideas from some other guy. Please note that nowhere in that definition is there any hint that he's the idea guy.

His decisions about what to invest in have absolutely nothing to do with whether they are worthwhile but only whether they will be profitable to the people who let his use their money. And most times the "investment" is sucking the value out of an existing company.

I am assuming that he is much like Romney.

In his current job he is supposed to have been responsible for streamlining and making gov't more efficient. Ever since Reagan that has been pseudotalk for contracting out.

In the news today I saw where McCaskill is jumping all over NNSA over the security and operations at the gov't nuclear facilities. Apparently the same thing has been going on there that's been going on at NSA. And then there's all those problems with procurements at the pentagon and the computer systems at VA and IRS.

Isn't that what this guy was supposed to oversee?

IOW, just another good ole boy network assignment. I don't know why I ever expect anything else. Made my first comment like this late in 2008.
