CONGRESS. The best damned job on the planet. WHAT other job can you get where you get to decide your own pay raise, your own retirement, your own special spending account, your own health care coverage, get kickbacks from big interests, get cost of living in high cost Sodom on the Potomac coverage, have your own bank where you can over spend your inflated checking and banking accounts. WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GET A JOB, that you come into it a used car salesman, making maybe $45,000 a year and leave after 30 years as so many times over a millionaire that you cannot count all those millions? You have homes in Sodom, in your home state, probably out in Colorado, Arizona, and Hawaii. Maybe even one over in Europa. Where else can you get all this, AT TAX PAYER EXPENSE!!
Now bring in big Pharma.
