    [quote=patientrenter][quote=patb]what allows a government corporation to lobby?

    The USDA is not allowed to make donations what makes it legal for
    GoCo’s and Banks to use federal dollars to lobby?[/quote]

    Ding! That’s why Fannie and Freddie are so well supported and popular on the Hill. They are 99% govt agencies, but masquerade as private companies just enough to allow a nice flow money to the Hill. A couple of million flows to the good folks on the Hill, and a trillion or two flows back to Fannie and Freddie, which shave off a few hundred million for their politically connected bosses, and pass the rest of the wall of money along to home buyers in poorly underwritten loans designed to boost home prices.[/quote]

    well lets force that one.

    Any entity receiving federal emergency assistance funds, may not
    lobby.

    The short list of the straight shooters is hard to find. I’m still looking. Maybe I’m using the wrong keywords.Anyone wanna help?

    And yes ten years later these people deserve to be fired. We should start voting for long term thinkers.

    And your opinions in general; What do you think about OpenSecrets.org? So far they seem pretty straight to me. At least less spun than Fox News or the NY Times.
