Report: For Every $1 Corporations Spent Lobbying For Income Tax Break, They Saved $220 In Taxes.

Makes Sense To Me

I like what the Obama Administration is doing. So many of their new rules seem designed to clean up government and I like it a lot.

From TPM...

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, in his first full day on the job, announced new rules Tuesday to limit special-interest influence on the government's $700 billion financial rescue program.

The new rules are designed to crack down on lobbyist influence over the rescue program and make sure that political clout in not a factor in awarding rescue money.

Obama administration officials said they go farther than the lobbying rules imposed by the Bush administration and are designed to ensure that bailout money is distributed with the goal of promoting the health and stability of the financial system.
