The Senate Banking Committee has taken $ 72,753,647 from the "FIRE" section (finance, insurance and real estate) business. The 14 democrats got $ 50,295,559 with Dodd getting $ 13 mil and Schumer $ 15 mil. The 10 republicans got $ 22,459,088. Only democrat Herb Kohl of Wisconsin got less than 6 figures at $ 73,950. This money was received since 1989. The information comes form "OpenSecrets.org" as reported by The Washington Spectator on 3/1/10. How can these politicans be expected to decide objectively on issues affecting these industries?
