Socialist Progressives

I saw this myself when I worked in law firms in Washington DC (and that was back in the 90s - this is nothing new). The lobbying firms write legislation with help from private law firms and then it is delivered to Capital Hill. Drafts go back and forth. Then you see some of it actually passed as laws. It's something else. Whenever Congressional hearings are held (at least about high profile topics) the aides from lobbying and or law firms are there picking up hand outs and attorneys are there making comments. It is all very intertwined and attorneys go back and forth between private and public sector all the time.
