Top Bailout Recipients Spent $71 Million On Lobbying In Year Since Bailout


Quite the inflammatory main.

What did anyone expect?

Credit card interest rates are being increased so that the taxpayer can help pay back the money that was loaned to the banks and credit industry by the same people that gave them the bailout.

And the banks took all that they could get and still appear squimish to lend any back...again to the very source of where the bailout came from...the US taxpayer.

The health insurance industry and the pharms have spent a ton on lobbyists to defeat a public option that would provide the American taxpayer some decent coverage and affordable meds and are raising their rates and prices as we speak so that again the consumers can pick up that bill.

And all the while, the politicains on bith sides of the aisle are dragging their feet, because they are highly motivated to not kill this csh cow none to soon.

$71 million on lobbyists isn't even the tip of the iceberg.

And I'm supposed to get all politically militant over a small slice of "business as usual" on Capitol Hill?

Not hardly.
