Un-Do Influence: Air Force's Revolving Door Helped Booz Allen Hamilton Get Unfair Edge

Consider the numbers: The finance, insurance and real estate (FIRE) sector combined to spend $6.8 billion on federal lobbying and campaign contributions from 1998 through 2011, according to the Center for Responsive Politics’ examination of public records. That’s $1 billion more than any other sector spent on Washington.
