Yup,
BAU (Business as usual). It's at the heart of what's ailing the US. Just about every government position is filled by ex executives from related industries.
Get tired of working for the government hop back over to the company that got you the job in the first place. Don't get paid enough with your government job? Do a favor for a big corp and get hired on. Become a pundit or lobbyist for big money.
When you look at the bank crashes, the true underlying reasons for it were because of these shady deals.
