duluth, minnesota. caller: thank you for taking my call.sanship is rendering the government this functional and i think the reason for that is lobbyists and we need to change the way we lobby our elected officials because a person that is elected to office cannot really make a good decision based on his own conscience. he has to make a decision based want, and lobbyists the republicans have a certain group of lobbyists, the democrats have a certain group of lobbyists, and because of the money they need to get elected they are not really functioning as the kind of people we sent to do the job. they are functioning as representatives of the lobbyists. thank you. guest: there was an interesting story that i saw. we were talking earlier about deal, and then i saw another story about the areer of lobbyists that descending on capitol hill to make sure there tax breaks are not cut out of the deal. both sides of the aisle feel this is a problem and we have seen the evidence. there are more economic impact lobbyists than any other interest. there is

nolan and i, have the great honor of sharing the duluth port and we understand how important dredging is to making sure that port functions and if we don't have enough resources to service our great port, it gives us great pause because this is great jobs and economic growth. and if we don't have that, we're concerned. if the administration is willing to work with us, we are willing to work with the administration, no doubt. but if they want to take those them for and take another purpose, we would have great cause in pushback because what you have seen it is funded by the shippers, they pay taxes and fees in the anticipation that those dollars, those revenues are going to be used to service our ports. the problem is it hasn't been used to service our ports. they are paying money into a fund, the last 15 years that has run a surplus. there is $17 billion in the fund and they sit back and wonder, why isn't this money being used for its intended purpose, which is to make sure that american ports work. we paid for it. we've agreed to pay the taxes. now do government what you promised us
