RS 4: Point of View From a Lobbyist

Lobbyist Jimmy Williams

America is a nation that is trying to make its way out of the hole it once dug itself into. The podcast “A Former Lobbyist Tells All” is about a former lobbyist Jimmy Williams and how America is attacking the loop holes to keep money from exchanging hands. Former Lobbyist Jimmy Williams is a famous lobbyist of Washington D.C. called the National Association of Realtors which allowed him to see to see further in-depth of the laws.

                The government law makers have been going to fundraisers for years! As a matter of fact 400 fundraisers is a common number where they are accepting $35,000 on average, to create bills in favor of the fundraiser. Also, the most common is the relators which gather by the thousands in Washington, D.C for a week to subject bills. Take for example flood insurance. When this was brought up in the podcast the relator lobbyist himself chuckled because it is ridiculous. The houses are being destroyed simply because of the location of the land and every year or two they are getting new homes.

            Jimmy Williams is unaccepting of these loop wholes which are created. He claims to dodge calls from men in congress which are making the laws. It was something that these lobbyists had to do because the congress men are making money just like the lobbyist. What considers a solution is that the United States Constitution must add a new law in which it prohibits money from politics. I cannot agree any more with this statement because these two parties are a prime example of making choices but acquisition is costly. This is illegal and needs to be reprimanded.
