Look we have told our politicians for 20+ years that we are ok with running the country (every aspect of it) from Congress.
We have asked ( I am judging by who we vote for-- but the truth may be that our media outlets have asked for) Congress to rule on everything from what our children eat to where they can sit in the car. What diet they need, how they can be educated and how they are entertained. Congress has been more than willing to oblige and spends time on every personal detail of our lives..... even telling us what light bulbs to use and how much water we can flush. (enough examples)
K Street, as well as Wholistic, mega organic, maximum sexual proformance foods and the other scams usda studies and passes judgement on, are just a natural progression of the process........ They have the publics best interest in a very similar manner as those we elect---- when it sounds good for Public relations.
The federal bureaucracy continually expands meeting needs and wants ...... and when manufacturing moved out "wants and needs" became the primary things the US produces.
