corporations now spend more $$ lobbying Congress, than taxpayers spend funding Congress
- Corporations now spend about $2.6 billion a year on reported lobbying expenditures
- more than the $2 billion, we spend to fund:
--- the House ($1.16 billion) &
--- the Senate ($0.82 billion)
it’s just the latest evidence of the rampant cronyism and deterioration of democracy in America
