      Shock doesn’t begin to cover it. Today I left a hearing on homelessness & saw tons of people camped outside committee. I turned to my staff and asked if it was a demonstration. “No,” they said. “Lobbyists pay the homeless + others to hold their place so they can get in 1st.” pic.twitter.com/mXbgqkKp4P

      They don't literally round up homeless people, but there are services though which you can hire someone to wait in line for you. Don't really see the problem. It's decent wage work for people who need work.

      There's a thing called optics.

      But no, I can't for a moment see how a "Rich Lobbyist Hires Homeless Guy To Stand In Line So Rick Lobbyist Can Influence Corrupt Lawmakers To Take More Of Their Lobbying Dollars To Cut Funding To Homeless" headline could ever possibly backfire on anyone in Washington. Win win.

      What if the lobbyist is from the National Coalition for the Homeless and they're paying someone $30/hr to make sure they get into a hearing on bill over funding block grants for anti-homelessness funding?

      Then they are sabotaging their own efforts.

      To take a quote from a long-since published post, "you can tell yourself all day that hiring a homeless person to be your ottoman is giving back the the community if that makes you feel better."

      That's an absurd comparison. A lawyer hired a legal secretary to make copies, because the lawyers time is better spent not making copies. Does that make the secretary an ottoman?

          No, so call me when they hire a homeless person to do something remotely dignified like make copies.

          If you think that standing in line at one of the Congressional office buildings is undignified, then I'm not sure what to say
