Sadly, I think you're correct. And Newt makes it worse by claiming to be a Freddie Mac "historian", not a lobbyist.
If that's not a lie, it's very close to being one.
And it's making me sick. Pigs at the trough.
Why sadly? That makes no sense at all....that's what politicians do after they leave office...they are sought after by business, industry and all others who have a stake in how the congress rules on that which affects their bottom line. This isn't new nor is it something we are going to stop. You can't forbid a politician from making a living at what he knows to do. They all do it.
