Stimulating Lobbyists

It’s well established by now that the stimulus won’t be stimulating much of anything.

Turns out one sector of the economy is better off – the lobbying industry. The Hill reports:

After a tough 2008 in which revenues at top firms fell, the stimulus package has been a boon to K Street’s economy. Hundreds of firms, companies and trade groups registered to lobby on the recovery package this January, usually a sleepy month in Washington.

Good for them, I guess. Too bad for the rest of us.
