The ABC's of What Will Happen Tonight and Beyond...

[Orwellian_Ghost]

The lobbyists are hired by the corporations to pay members of Congress to make laws desirable to the corporations...

...so the corporations hire the people that have access and influence to members of Congress- Ex-members of Congress.

Many family members of the members of Congress have jobs or are associated with these corporations and if a law is passed that is detrimental to the business of the corporations it could also be detrimental to a family member's income. Ask Senator Dodd e.g. who his wife works for. He is just one of many.

Congress makes the laws and controls the funding.

Today's laws were designed by the corporate lobbyist and enacted by Congress for the benefit of the corporation, the lobbyist and their friends in Congress.

The President has requested of Congress an "insurance competition" bill and as of yet there is NO bill for him to sign . The GOP and others would have us think there is a bill that we do not want. But there is no such thing.

SO...

... Guess what we will get...
