"Than you apparently realize?" ALEC, hello.

They're just not generally dumb enough to sign off on the original.

when I worked on the hill, lobbyist routinely wrote legislation. It was reviewed, revised, etc by them based upon member/staff input and then when it was ready, it would be circulated. Not as nefarious as it sounds.

Have you seen the advertisements and acknowledgements by the Administration of the participation of special interest groups (lobbyists) in the writing of the ACA? Many of which are the parts that are now having waivers issued for.

Never be surprised when politicians act like politicians, or when people let their ego prevail and take credit for their own work. Even if its a lobbyist that would normally run below the radar.
 
The CBC proves yet again, they want EVERYONE to be poor and sucking off the gubmint tit.

The Left can only exist in crisis. Creating the crisis themselves is of no matter to them.
