The solution to lobbying is more lobbying - The Washington Post

The steady growth of corporate lobbying over the last four decades — the subject of my new book, The Business of America is Lobbying ­– has tipped representation in Washington overwhelmingly toward large corporations. The types of organized interests we might expect to provide a countervailing force to business — labor unions, groups representing diffuse publics like consumers or taxpayers – now spend $1 for every $34 business spends on lobbying, by my count. That's up from a 1-to-22 ratio in 1998. Of the 100 organizations that spend the most on lobbying annually, consistently 95 represent business.
