All these unethical people in the adminstration

Okay, I am not making excuses here, but I do have to wonder...

The stories about Pruitt renting a room for $50 a night, or the expensive flights, or the security details on personal vacations. All that.
Is it even remotely possible that some of it starts out because:

1. A lot of these people have ZERO experience in government and don't have a clue how things work (and haven't bothered to find out); or

2. They're going, hey, I'm in government now; I can do anything I want. And haven't bothered to find out.

Either way, it makes me wonder why "nobody" ever seems to say, hey, you can't do that. Are the lower-downs ignorant too, or just afraid?

Yes, Okie politics can be fluid, but career pol and in law enforcement should know better. Think the atmosphere in this administration is toxic on all levels.

Some of them may be new to public office, but many were elected officials before.
