U.S. Chamber of Commerce Opens Its Wallet to Defeat Change

Lobbying expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2009 were reported last week, and they showed that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce outdid itself in 2009. The Chamber spent a total of $123.3 million in lobbying for the year — almost double what they spent in 2008 ($62.3 million). All that money went toward defeating health care reform, climate change legislation and financial reform.
