RS 4 - A Former Lobbyist Tells All

This blog post is my take on the podcast A Former Lobbyist Tells All by Jacob Goldsteen and Alex Bloomberg of NPR. This podcast was aired on January 27th, 2012.


This podcast talks to a former lobbyist and what they do to get there.  In my opinion I found that if you got money then you can be a lobbyist. The lobbyist go to hundreds of fundraisers and keep some of the money they raise.  The money people get they get facetime with a high powers.  Nancy Pelosi when to 400 fundraisers. The lobbyist are selfish in my opinion.


They are many examples of the guideposts in this podcast. Such as there is no free lunch. The lobbyist paid to move highe up in the ranks.  Russell Simmons is even a lobbyist.
