The chamber of commerce beat even Exxon mobile on billions of dollars spent on lobbyists. Democrats are included in the club of lawmakers that make $250k + per year from coal and oil interests. There are 5 dirty energy lobbyists for every lawmaker. Warren BuffetI has placed a bet against the planet by investing big in coal.”YOU IDIOTS” is on the cover of the Rolling Stone issue with all this cheerful news.
