From Politico:
The Podesta Group posted a 57 percent increase in lobbying revenues for the first half of this year, compared to the same period in 2008. But the firm led by Tony Podesta, whose brother John headed Obama’s presidential transition team, appeared not to be Washington’s highest-paid lobbying shop.
At least the poor lobbyists aren’t suffering.
Politicians in Alabama and Georgia are cashing in on immigration fears to buy votes, but everyone pays, as Scott Beaulier, Darrick Luke and Daniel Smith explain. Robert Higgs asks if regime uncertainty explains the current malaise. Andrew Morriss marvels at how much better we live than Elvis did. Gary Chartier asks who’s really on the side of the poor and Robert Murphy says the Euro shows how little one can expect from a currency born entirely of government.
