The pharma industry spends more money lobbying US politicians than any other, almost twice as much as the next largest spender; 64% of pharma lobbyists are former government employees

50% of the Food and drug administrations funding comes from pharmaceutical companies. So yeah big pharma runs our government regulatory agencies.

If Ford and a few other large car manufacturers accounted for 50% of DMV funding you don’t think that could lead to conflicts of interest?
