Huge change in members of Congress becoming lobbyists

US- 50% of senators and 42% of House members now leave Congress to become lobbyists (as opposed to just 3% in 1974), and they get on average a 1,500% raise. The revolving door has nothing to do with Citizens United or the supreme court — it’s just a loophole that politicians have been exploiting like never before hoping nobody will notice.
