How blatant is lobbying spend? Where do those millions go? I assume it's not a direct debit into politicians bank accounts. At what point do the politicians personally enrich themselves from it. Is it given to the senators campaign funds, so that they benefit from not having to pay for anything themselves?

A few top Republican got 7 million from gun lobby groups. Astounding.
7 million.
And they are getting piles of money from other groups as well. As you say, big pharma, oil, finance, etc
Not much of a democracy anymore.
