If there were a group of people that shouldn't be afraid of the purported recession, it would probably be lobbyists. We are not saying all lobbying is bad, but just take a look at who outspent the rest in their efforts to have their way with Washington:
According to information released last week from the Center for Responsive Politics, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the tort deform "champion", was victorious this past year in spending more money ($52.8 million) than any other lobbying group.
The industries that dolled out the biggest of the big bucks: drug and health care product companies ($227 million) and insurance industries ($138 million).
