Revolving Door Policy
Corruption
Government corruption, kickbacks, lobbyists, unethical policies in government. Legislation without regulation. The revolving door of deceitful individuals from unscrupulous corporations to government entities has created a cesspool of hazardous regulations, and unethical profits.
What is the Revolving Door?
In politics, the "revolving door" is a movement of personnel between roles as legislators and regulators in the industries affected by the legislation and regulation.
In some cases, the roles are performed in sequence but in certain circumstances may be performed at the same time. Political analysts claim that an unhealthy relationship can develop between the private sector and government, based on the granting of reciprocated privileges to the detriment of the nation and can lead to regulatory capture.
Governments hire industry professionals for their private sector experience, their influence within corporations that the government is attempting to regulate or do business with, and in order to gain political support (donations and endorsements) from private firms.
Government Hires Industry Professionals
Industry, in turn, hires people out of government positions to gain personal access to government officials, seek favorable legislation/regulation and government contracts in exchange for high-paying employment offers, and get inside information on what is going on in government.
The lobbying industry is especially affected by the revolving door concept, as the main asset for a lobbyist is contacts with and influence on government officials. This industrial climate is attractive for ex-government officials. It can also mean substantial monetary rewards for the lobbying firms and government projects and contracts in the hundreds of millions for those they represent. -Wikipedia

As Senator Charles Grassley stated on September 20, 2006
“The FDA has lost its way and ‘sold out’ to the industries it is charged to regulate.”
Indeed, conflicts of interest by the Advisory Committee members appointed by the FDA to investigate and approve medications for distribution, have become endemic. Advisory Committee members frequently receive funds from the pharmaceutical companies which manufacture the drugs upon which the committee makes determinations of safety and efficacy. The FDA is well aware of the conflicts of interest of its appointees and routinely waives the conflicts as a matter of standard practice. As a result, excessively dangerous drugs are frequently approved by the agency for general consumption and sale.
In reality, the FDA has become subverted by the industries it regulates. It is overtly attacked by whistleblowers, Congress and watchdog groups for incompetence and dishonesty. The FDA has failed to perform its duty of preventing the distribution of dangerous drugs or of adequately warning the public of the dangers of drugs once they are known. In the past several years, the Commissioner and executives of the FDA have been called on the carpet before angry Congressional committees to explain why they ordered FDA scientists not to reveal the dangers of some medications and why the FDA permits persons with blatant conflicts of interest to hold positions of great responsibility over the approval of drugs. Because the FDA has been unable to maintain its own internal ethical standards, it has been the subject of recent legislative attempts to restore order within its ranks.
