Lobbying

There is a lot of discussion in DC about lobbying and the reforms necessary to bring it under control. Before our stat's let's just make this clear. The problem we have at present is a Republican problem. It is not a Democrat problem. Jack .....off and company passed out money to the Republican Party. From 2001 - 2004 they gave all of their money to the Republican Party. They gave none to the Democratic Party. Got that? They gave none, during that period to the Democratic Party. The people who are trying to make this a DC problem are trying to smear all with the same pile of shit. This is a Republican Party issue.

Now that we have taken care of that bit of housekeeping, let's move on. With Republicans in control of every facet of government, the number of registered lobbyists in Washington D.C. has more than doubled since the year 2000 to more than 34,750. Any particular reason why? you might wonder. Let's see, the Republican Party favors business over people? And, since that is true, the way to get your share of the business type handouts is to make your case known. Lobbyists.

Since the year 2002, what lobbyists charge has increased by 100%. Just look at your own earnings....I'll wait...now take your 2000 earnings and give them a 100% boost. Does that resemble what has happened to your earnings since 2000? I thought not. Just a question. Why would all of those congress critters and the staff that worked for them be moving into the lobbyist field? Earinings up by 100% over a five year period. Jesus Christ!!!! You don't mean...Doh!!

So now we have the Republican Party attempting to make it appear as if they are going to try and clean the whole mess up. And who do they put in charge of the clean-up? Rick Santorum. Senator Santorum was a major player in making "K" Street the Republican owned & operated mess it is today. He was an architect of this corrupt, criminal group that has stolen the government.

For those who may still be under the illusion that the Republican Party has anything to do with fiscal responsibility, let me just remind you that Federal oulays from 200 - 2004 increased by 30%. That would make it $2.29 Trillion. Their statements that they intended to reduce the government by any means is coming to fruition. They are spending us into non-existence. We may not have to worry about taking care of those less fortunate, because we won't have the capability.

Maybe we can get some of that Lobbyist money to help them out?
