Simply Staggering...............

Imagine these numbers. 34,785 registered lobbyists in Washington, D.C. Monthly spending by these winers and diners is about $193 million. Did you get that number? That is a dollar amount spent PER MONTH. And you think your vote counts? To top it off, there were 13,997 pork projects that individual members of Congress slipped into spending bills last year without debate, without discussion, without any process. Said lobbyists are like reservation bootleggers. As long as the money is there to give, somebody will be there to take it and give something in return. Isn't that the American way?
