The problem is with the lobbyists’ financial support of the federal government and its influence on the federal systems’ adopted policies. Elections in United States including Presidential, Congressional, and Supreme Court, are all counted on the financial supports by different groups of business controlling market. Moreover, the post-election monetary contributions are continued in almost all branches of the federal system from executive, to legislative, and judicial, which play a detrimental role in their enacted policies. This article, for instance, states that Boeing Company has been a major GOP and Democrat donor; it has provided annual financial allocations to various congressional leaderships and committees. The GOP congressional recipients of these funds in turn consider favoritism in their course of action to make sure the funds will not stopped coming in for the next year, and hence they pave the way for Obama to be authorized to lift the sanctions against Iran. And of course Boeing stands to reap huge money from Obama’s lifting of the sanctions by selling aircrafts to Mullahs.

As long as the lobbyists’ monetary influences in the federal elections and systems’ functions are not stopped, the US government won’t be able to adopt policies in favor of real interests of the people of America and the world. [DID]

Why on earth would Republicans do that?” That is a question I’ve been asked at least a dozen times since illustrating that the GOP has played a cynical game in connection with President Obama’s Iran deal. “Follow the money” is a common answer to questions about political motivation. It may not explain everything in this case, but it is certainly relevant.

This spring, Republican leadership colluded with the White House and congressional Democrats to enact a law — the Corker-Cardin Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act — that guaranteed Obama would be authorized to lift sanctions against Iran (the main objective of the terrorist regime in Tehran). The rigged law authorized Obama to lift sanctions as long as Republicans could not pass a resolution of disapproval. As Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, and other GOP leaders well knew, there was no way they would ever be able to enact a disapproval resolution over Obama’s veto. But the process choreographed by Corker-Cardin meant they would be able to complain about the deal and vote to disapprove it — thereby creating the impression that they were staunchly against the lifting of sanctions that they had already authorized.
