Ain't it interesting that every politician, regardless of
affiliation, in the 45 years I've been voting has been a proponent
of "changing how things are done in Washington" and yet it never
changes?

So long as the law allows corporations to pour billions into "campaign
donations" it will never change, not much. When corporate lobbyists
write the laws supposed to ensure oversight of the industries that
hire those lobbyists, well what should we expect to happen?

Heh! Until this year, corporations COULDN'T make independent expenditures on
behalf of a federal candidate. Now they can.

Lobbyists are the experts on pending legislation. They know how a new law
might affect their industry. Congress and regulators need expert input.
