As far as which government employees, there are laws which deal with conflict of interest that prohibit employment for a certain number of years within the same sphere. Unfortunately, like most of the laws, it never seems to apply to the highest levels of government. They find ways to skirt around the law by finding loopholes in the letter of the law and violating the crap out of the spirit of the law. I think that once you get into handling finances and directing awards of contracts, they should be required to non-compete for a number of years after leaving government service.
I think that it should be if you supervise more than 20 people or handle more than 250,000 in selling or purchasing per year.
The janitors don't have their lives ruined for looks, and it gets people "in power" so to speak.
Sounds pretty reasonable to me. Pretty sure this can all be hashed out and agreed upon after some intelligent debate to create a system that is difficult to corrupt.
