Wall Street Lobbyists: Follow the Money

From OpenSecrets.org: Who is getting the most donations from Wall Street Lobbyists?



Hmmm, the top four recipients for donations from lobbyists for commercial banks are Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio. And while what Cruz and Rubio got isn't a paltry amount, if you add together what they got they're still a good bit short of what either Clinton or Bush got individually.


That's weird. The lobbyists for hedge funds also prefer Clinton and Bush.



Okay, now I'm starting to think there's a trend. The security and investment lobbyists also are big donors to Clinton and Bush.

I wonder what kind of return they're expecting on that investment?
