I'm not sure how one can have more of an individual.
Why Wall Street specifically?
Because Wall st. caused the financial meltdown, and Wall st. is now lobbying frantically to stop Congress from imposing any regulations/controls to try to prevent the next meltdown.
Yeah, I realize that's the point you were aiming at. But isn't one extreme (little or no public sector input) and bad as another (little or no public sector experience)?
No, it's not. Careers in government are going to bring in people who end up looking at all sides of the issue and balance the concerns. Bring in people from the private sector is going to result in the agencies issuing and overturning regulations, whichever is relevant toward the goal, to help out their corporate buddies.
