In 2018, SVB hired two former Kevin McCarthy staffers to lobby Congress to roll back banking regulations.

This is how Washington works: staffers get connections and then parlay those connections into lucrative lobbying gigs.

The American people are left holding the bag.

@rbreich C'mon, you work long hours at low pay as a congressional staffer. You're entitled to a big payday!

@rbreich it's the only way for congressional staffers to get paid...

Sounds like congressional staffers need to unionize so they don't have to sublimate their ethics, morals and pride.

Okay then.... something needs to change & fast.

Over 330,000 people reside in the US & yet a few elite (or wannabe elites) are running this Country?!?

Hmm, good test to see who is in #Congress for the right reasons, create a new bill that they can't do business with lobbiests and get rid of Citizens united.
