We the people can barely afford lunch:
The first quarter of 2010 marked another frenzy for Washington lobbyists as corporations, unions and other interest groups spent nearly $1 billion in their attempts to sway Congress and the Obama administration.
I wish I could see it put another way.
To look at it another way: Interest groups spent $19 million for every day that the House or Senate was in session.
Be careful what you wish for.
Guess who took the lead... The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other Big Biz. They spent $139 million. I'm sure they were looking out for interests. They're such softies.
Big Health, Big Energy, and Big Finance were the other Big Spenders.
