Groveling to Grassley

Here's the list of special interest groups Grassley is meeting with in the next week (pasted in below, from a memo from his staff)... the ones that they are telling us about... at least his office is issuing something to go by... it would be a full time job to keep up with all these folks seeking special dispensation from our oligarchy... wait, he has a huge staff to help him with all this, millions paid for by you and me and our future generations.. what a vicious circle... right before our eyes... i know this is not anything new... but i guess i have rarely noticed the level of detail here...

If the Congress stuck to its enumerated authority, it would not have the wherewithall to even hand out any loot to any of these groups, thus there'd be no meetings to be had... it's time to quit gifting from the treasury in order to maintain the welfare and warfare state... the cycle must be broken.

Update:
How can a congress person possibly keep up with all these meetings?

What would you do with a $2.4 million dollar staffing budget?
Think you'd figure out a way to have a staff around you to keep you in power for decades with that kind of financing?

Here's Chuck's staffing, travel, ear marks and more...

His top staffer is making over $167,000 annually...

you can drill down on each staffer's disclosure forms too... see what kind of stocks they own...and where they have a mortgage... Edmunds has a mortgage for property worth $500K-$1M in DC... no wonder they need such high salaries...
