"Investor's Business Daily" article

A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.

Check this last set of statistics: The percentage of each past
president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. (You know that the private business sector is a real-life business, not a government job.) Here are the percentages.

T. Roosevelt.................. 38%

Taft................................ 40%

Wilson ........................... 52%

Harding.......................... 49%

Coolidge........................ 48%

Hoover ........................... 42%

F. Roosevelt................... 50%

Truman.......................... 50%

Eisenhower.................... 57%

Kennedy......................... 30%

Johnson.........................47%

Nixon............................. 53%

Ford................................ 42%d
Carter............................. 32%

Reagan........................... 56%

G. H. Bush..................... 51%

Clinton ........................... 39%

G. W. Bush.................... 55%

Obama............. 8%

This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business! That's right! Only eight percent; the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business?

NHS. Do you really want a medical system run like the USPS?
