Although the Chamber may present itself as the champion of small businesses, it essentially functions as a money laundry for the world’s largest multi-national corporations, who want to keep their political activity at arm’s length.
The Chamber’s $85 million lobbying budget in 2015 dwarfs all others in D.C., and that doesn’t include the over $35 million it spent on political ads in both the 2012 and 2014 election cycles.
That money has almost always gone directly into supporting Republicans and trying to unseat Democrats.
In an interview with The Intercept after her remarks Thursday night, Lim said she could not speak for her colleagues at the Chamber, but said she hears from a lot of Republicans who increasingly support Clinton on account of her pro-corporate policies.
“I think [Clinton] is going to be a moderate policy maker, especially for the general election. She’s clearly going back towards the middle,” said Lim. “She wants to reduce the red tape and regulation on America’s small businesses, and I think that’s a starting point for a lot of Republicans.”
It also may not be a coincidence that, as CNN reported in early July, her husband Tim Lim has worked for the Clinton campaign and is a partner at Bully Pulpit Interactive, which has a multimillion-dollar contract with the Clinton campaign.
Nevertheless, Jennifer Lim’s comments coincide with increasing evidence that the lobbying group is warming up to Clinton.

Its all about outsourcing jobs and giving big corporations an in to write regulations in Washington that puts small business at a disadvantage.
No wonder the COC loves Hillary.
She will be. For Clinton cronies and interests who bought her. Everyone else is screwed.
Vendors and small busineeses like her because I hear Hillary Clintons condoms are really selling even though they are useless and full of security holes.
The Chamber of Commerce has been the major agent pushing Amnesty.
I believe her fellow mobsters pronounce it ‘da’ business.
Jennifer, place the bong on the table and back away. These jackasses will say absolutely anything to get this traitor elected.
Say it loud!
.
The chamber of commerce has morphed into the enemy of the American economy.
Bingo.
Good for these crooks and wall st. Utterly disastrous for main St.
The rich are going to continue getting richer and everyone else is going to continue getting the shaft. Clintoon has bought these clowns at the COC.
Yeah right. Just like the crime families were only conducting “business”.
We should all do what the Chamber of Commies want. They have become the biggest socialist group in the Country.
Pray America wakes
My grandmother used to have a big old ceramic “Chamber Pot”
that she slid under her bed every night. She called it a
“CHAMBER POT”, and it must have come over on the Mayflower
with the Pilgrims.
Some old-timers also called the pots “SLOP JARS”. . Maybe
that’s a better name for them. :o)
Immigration and work visas. That is all they care about.
That Chamber. Always good for a rollicking chuckle.
Hey snowflake. Come and be a turd, inventing things about Lorianne for posting this item.
That’s what you do.
Good for business? I can’t think my portfolio is the only which took a dive during the DNC. Brexit caused it to sink, it more than recovered during the RNC, but the DNC caused it to sink to very, very low levels.
