Report: Bailed out companies spent $114 million on lobbying last year

[Fireweed247]

Companies in the finance and auto industries that benefited from the $700 billion TARP bailout spent more than $114 million on lobbying in the past year and in contributions toward the 2008 election, according to the center. The companies received more than $300 billion in the taxpayer-funded rescue.

Now it all makes sense why the bailout(looting) passed so easily. $114 million to get back $300 billion...makes our Congressmen look like cheap whores.
