Public policy in America:

It’s like that high school clique where the cool kids call all the shots. 
Money foundations, think tanks, lobbyists – they are the in-crowd kids of policymaking, dictating what goes down. 
Don’t be fooled by the “demands of the people” myth. It’s all about the elite’s interests, preferences, and connections. 
So next time you think you have a say in shaping policy, remember: it’s just the in-crowd kids playing their game!
