Boom time for lobbyists in Washington, malaise for working men and women in the heartland:  “In a Down Time Everywhere Else, K Street Bustles: Lobbyists Find Plenty of Work as Clients Contend for Stimulus Package’s Billions.

UPDATE:  From the Post article, “Put another way, Main Street’s gloom has been K Street’s boon.”

  1. It depends on the definition of “change”.

  2. First, shoot all the lobbyists.

  3. Nah ILC, they’re doing their job, and exercising their rights under the first ammendment.

    First cut the goverment off from the people’s work through taxation, then the lobbyists will change. They’re not the disease, just a symptom.

  4. 100% true, TL.

    Separation of economics and State! Let the economy be for the people! No government ‘redistribution’ of it!

  5. Businesses whoring for stimulus package money, find themselves in the clutches of pimps. Who would have thunk it?

  6. Helio, that may be the silver lining in all this, maybe business will stop looking to foverenr for solutions.

  7. Yeah, good luck with that, Leah and Helio. Not while The Snob is busy running GM and Chrysler.

    I never thought I’d see the day when the country would elect a communist like this guy who would nationalize everything. Time for the French Revolution, part deaux. Half of us will take down the politicians, the other half the media.

    I have first dibs on Chrissy Matthews and Keith Olberfrau.

  8. I thought DeLay was the one benefitting lobbyists and by getting rid of him, everything would be right as rain.

  9. #7 Peter I’m calling for a velvet revolution. When and if the workers and producers are forced to pay for mortages of people who signed for houses they knew they couldn’t afford. And if and when we have to pay for benefits for illegals. The stuff will finally hit the fan. Organized demonstrations by the producers will have to happen on weekends when most of them are off work. Taking advantage of the producers and employers has to stop.

  10. I would like to see a “velcro revolution” where the facts of malfeasance and misfeasance stick to the perpetrators because the public really does give a darn.
