Recession Proof?
Lobbyists and incumbents Is lobbying recession proof? How about Anthem Blue Cross dough For buying sleazy politicians who'll go slow or just say "NO"? How many Blue Cross bucks are wasted – year in, year out, not now and then? Dough we paid so they'd insure us; not so they'd buy middlemen. Why ever re-elect incumbents? Flood the town with lobbyists! Why retain those senior sleazeballs and the culture that persists? Draft them into public service: diplomatic jobs on Mars, Or tenure in the Bush museum preserved in giant Mason jars. Job opportunities are endless for senior pols whose butts have shrunk, Who, though their heads no longer fit, are good at touting Wall Street's junk.
