Some people are complaining that the restrictions aren't tough enough because they allow people to come from being lobbyist that aren't related directly to their field.
The problem is that it would be hard to fill the positions with out any administration with a background in some type of lobby.
Remember when a person works for an administration and the opposing party takes over, they are out of a job.
Lobbyist aren't bad they provide a function of bringing attention to issues of private industry and consumer groups, but lobbyist who give money and gifts and politicians who take them are bad for government.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
