'$300,000 Starting Lobbyist Salary'

The economy in Washington DC is booming, while the rest of America is suffering. A new POLITICO Poll says 45% of "Washington Elites" said the country and economy are headed in the right direction, while only 25% of the general population said they felt that way. In Washington, democrats and republicans have been battling it out over whether or not to extend unemployment benefits for weeks leaving the fate of 2.5 million long term jobless Americans at risk. Radio Host Thom Hartmann weighs in on how to bring DC back to reality.

This is something that has been long standing that lobbyists make bank and spend it to make sure their agendas get pushed through, it should get limited to meager means so that crap stops...

Of course that will not happen til we wake up
