I’ve worked on the Hill since ’97 and I have seen far too many staffers of both parties who have gone on to lobby for:



- Bank of America

- Goldman Sachs

- Pfizer

- PhRMA

- Disney

- Google



This is a big reason Congress rigs the rules for the rich & powerful. 2/11

I remember bumping into a former Hill staffer several years ago who became a lobbyist for Goldman Sachs. He told me his job was “to teach Lloyd Blankfein how to speak progressive.” He was obviously not very good at that particular job. 3/11
