Senator Evan Bayh is retiring. On his way out he had a few choice words.
“I simply reached a conclusion that I could get more done to help my state and the American people by doing something in the private sector,” said Bayh, the two-term senator and former governor, on ABC’s Good Morning America on Tuesday. “Real accomplishments in a real way.”
Now all we have to do is to make the 535 in Washington keep that in mind until the people retire them and we might actually get decent government from time to time.

One response to “A Democrat Who Gets It”
Let’s hope he means what he says. There is a real need for educating people about the benefits of private sector employment, and who better to lead the way, by example, than a prior bureaucrat, or “servant of the people”, if you prefer.
I’ve often wondered why businesses, and BIG businesses, in particular, don’t spend more money on this sort of education. I’m not talking one business at a time here, but at some “collective” action across industry lines. Is there some law against this? If there isn’t, it’s a real head scratcher to me that it hasn’t happened already.
