The total amount of money, as far as they're concerned, is probably less than it takes to buy one lobbyist lunch.

- rbanffy 16y agoBut since they have lobbyists on payroll, I assume there would be no need to secure extra funding.
- hugh3 16y agoYes, but their lobbyists are working hard on other things, like the complete damn re-regulation of the entire financial industry, at the moment. Whether a handful (hundreds?) of extra mortagees go into foreclosure isn't a big deal for them.
- rbanffy 16y agoOh, but it would picture them fighting for the small guy. That's something representatives like. It would be far easier to de-regulate an industry that fights for the small guy, wouldn't it??
