"Government is too big and controls too much money."

So said the newly-elected House Majority Leader. I hope he means it. Of course, then he goes and says this:

We need clearer ethical standards and greater transparency about their campaign contributions--if we're going to continue to allow such contributions at all--and we need to reform the laws governing so-called 527 organizations.

So bad lobbying happens because there's too much money and power that the federal government wields, but bad campaign finance happens because the federal government doesn't wield enough power? How does that work?
