Check this 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 what 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%
            Carter............................. 32%
            Reagan........................... 56%
            GH Bush......................... 51%
             Clinton .......................... 39%
            GW 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?

           How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one?  Or about jobs when he has never really had one?  And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers?  They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers."  They should have been in an employment line.

Kasich doesn’t get the real issue with his inflated staff salaries

Today’s Akron Beacon Journal addresses Joseph’s inflated staff salaries in the Kasich Administration story from two weeks ago:

“The more acute disconnect involves the governor’s harsh words for many in the public sector, especially unions, about failing to understand the principle of sacrifice. Kasich insists they make do with less. Then, he turns around and pays his chief of staff $47,000 a year more than the Strickland chief of staff. He might want to set a better example.”

There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life.. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense, when even Hillary, only had three;Jackie Kennedy one; Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from the President's own pocket.

Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to Europe.
