The ROI for companies tho is wild and what they chase. I've seen things from 1,000% returns to 22,000% returns according to a quick google. One example even showed that for every dollar spent companies were getting and average of $760 in federal support and/or tax benefits

The root of the problem is a bloated federal budget
Lobbying isn't the problem per se
Lobbying exists in Sacramento and Austin and the other 48 state capitals.

Yeah I could go on and on about how wild some of our issues are… look into the billions in unspent COVID funds if you have time… Dems don't want to clawback that money for whatever reason
