Fair enough, I guess. I think of groups like Blue Cross/Blue Shield or the NAR as representing corporations, but I can see how you'd disagree on a strict reading. I didn't mean to mislead.
> General Electric has fallen off a cliff since 1998.
In 1998, GE spent $7.28m on lobbying. Nearly every year since then, they have spent more than that, generally staying north of $16m per year, with the exception of the last three years.
Your statement is true only for the last three years.
