Surprise, surprise… not really
Amazing! The one thing the Democrats should actually do since they lamentably took control of Congress – which is one thing they said they would do – is pass stringent lobbying reforms. But no- we learn in this ABC News report that they have decided they like what the lobbyists do for them and so aren’t going to do anything about the rampant corruption and buying of favors. Though the Democrats are pretty much wrong on every single thing they want to do, this was actually one good idea that they had. Too bad they are hypocrites. Of course, don’t think I’m giving Republicans a free pass. They are just as guilty here. Since they were too weak to resist the charms of lobbyists they got burned (though not burned nearly bad enough).
Does this not enrage you that your tax dollars go to pork projects that benefit lobbyists who have essentially bought that pork from our elected representatives with favors, trips, parties, tickets, and what have you?
If not, it should.
