With media and watchdog groups out of the loop just look to Lobbyist for answers. During recent super committee hearings which are largely taking place in private the only groups who seem to be able to get any information are lobbyist. Some are meeting with panel members in person while others are getting info from readouts of closed door meetings. Many representatives are distancing themselves from theses lobbyist by axing fundraisers, others are only meeting with constituents. Many lobbyists are heavily invested to ensure their interest remains safe and well financed or those that receive heavy tax breaks continue to receive those.
This is rather interesting that the only groups being given info on the super-secret meeting are the same groups who finance many of these politicians’ campaigns. We have become a country ran by lobbyist rather than elected officials. Everyone should be informed that these so called secret meeting are only secret to tax payers. As citizens this should raise a lot of eyebrows, this is why I brought it to our attention.
