Privatize Those Interns
The Post's Chris Lee throws a barb at White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card today, noting that he used an appearance at a Partnership for Public Service event on attracting young people to the civil service as an opportunity to tell interns that the best place to look for work is in the private sector. Apparently Card was trying to forestall a feared mass migration of all U.S. employees into the federal sector. "Our economy would not do very well if people just worked for the government," he said. So if that was anyone's plan, just stop thinking about it right now.
