To my knowledge, lobbyists aren't government employees. They are private-sector contractors (aka political whizbombs) who reside in DC full-time, pretty much. Big firm lobbyists make much, MUCH more money than the government employees they interface with (as far as base salaries are concerned, in most cases).
