Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Note that those who view this as problematic believe that business interests have a disproportionate influence on public policy, given their wealth of political and financial resources and access to policymakers.
2. Provide a logical reason to explain why this might not be a problem, such as the fact that policymakers don't always meet the demands of business lobbyists and that public interest groups are well-represented in Washington, D.C., as well.
