In our nation's capitol, we need to place fed people in business sites!

We need more involvement of the DC environs people in the business community.

I say this after working in close proximity--yes, living among them for over 7 years, helping them out occasionally, maybe more than they would like!--but for the good of creating comradery of two types (business and government), getting involved together in working together--not all the time but on a consulting basis from our different perspectives--capable of making informed suggestions and comments.

I can see there's need to bring in that other perspective, viz., that of government into the business world.  Look how the computer field has taken off because of such close interaction and showing concern from  another, but related, perspective.  The military doing exhaustive testing in creating model code paradigms.

Just so, fed career people meddling in business transactional outlays.

My opinion is it's very useful from that other perspective.  

P.S. I've had neighbors come up to me and thank me that the "Fed's" are among; us and it's made a difference in how they feel about the area.  And it just keeps going on, "that way (even from the cops that patrol here)!"
