Default Lobbying money

Hi guys,

What exactly is lobbying money spent on? You often hear that "so and so group spent $9 million on lobbying last year," what are they buying? Taking senators out to dinner? I've always wondered this. Thanks!

It seems to have bought us a reduction in pay, higher taxes, loss of pensions, and lip service.
