I think Mick Mulvaney said out loud what most of the Congress members actually do whether consciously or not.
āWe had a hierarchy in my office in Congress,ā the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said Tuesday at the American Bankers Association conference in Washington. āIf youāre a lobbyist who never gave us money, I didnāt talk to you. If youāre a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you.ā

This is the problem in Washington and in particular with this administration. This is why the moneyed interests are heard but not the regular people.
