Top down thinking is what helped make things what they are today.
Why stop with what has brought US to where we are now?
I agree we should only seek and ask advice from the top-level pack of MBA idiots and morons who have driven the country and corporations into bankruptcy.
Gotta dance with the one who brung ya, yunno.

I might ask this guy how to build a car, or a soldier how to win a war, or a carpenter how to build a house, or a waitress what is good at a restaurant.
But I would not expect a soldier to know how to allocate defense spending, or a carpenter to budget for future home development, or ask a waitress on how to start up a restaurant.
This "everyone is an expert" mentality leads to these types of stories. Ask someone who lost his home in a hurricane about what happened, and he will tell you it's the worst destruction ever. Ask someone who recently lost their job and they'll tell you about the terrible economy. Ask a convicted felon and he'll complain about the unfairness of the judicial system.
While there may be some grain of truth to each of those statements, individual experiences distort their perception.
