It'll be nice to break that money influance but you watch, they'll attack it as freedom of speech or something.
I will not be surprised if the lobbists take this to court.

I think ALL of Congress should take the same 5 year ban when they leave...

I think we should get back to when they convened certain times of the year to do their business and then go back to their private sector jobs like our Arizona legislature does. That is our Constitution.
Pipedream maybe but it would mean freedom for all of us.

I think ALL of Congress should take the same 5 year ban when they leave...

Or tax 50% of their salary upon leaving for 5 years.

What?
Half of their salary?
Wow!
From a nation that fought a war over high taxes and intrusive government.
Shameful.

FTA: In addition, Spicer announced that Trump transition team members would be barred from lobbying about the issues they had worked on for six months after their departure. He did not immediately explain how either ban would be enforced.

Like Hillary promising to step away from the Clinton Foundation when she became SoS.

how's Trump going to handle his business connections with foreign nations when he becomes president? At least with Bill Clinton, he brought his speeches to government ETHICS lawyers to get approval ahead of time....

That's not a BLIND TRUST and his kids and daughter's spouse are still involved in our govt.... and if you think for one nano second Trump won't talk a word about his business with his kids, or follow it in the newspapers, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you....

The question how is he going to handle his businesses when he's POTUS. Handing it to your kids doesn't somehow wipe his memory of what businesses he has.

He really didn't expect to win...

Hillary made $30 million on a government salary and you're worried about Trump and his companies?

The question was about how Trump is going to handle his companies. A simple I don't know would suffice.

He will give people and nations political favors for investing in his companies.

Oh wait, Hillary again.

I'm not sure what Trump will do.
