How do they get the money? is is skimmed from their campaign contributions...
Just pure graft from supporting bills going directly into their bank accounts?
Gifts of stock from companies or telling them insider trading information?
to buy stocks they have to have some money to put into the purchase or they can’t buy them?
And just like that, Democrat voters will now be in favor of corruption among Democrat politicians. The legacy media will tout such corruption as a virtue.
It's not just the dems, a bunch of our reps are also in on the big scam.
He should be “party blind” in this quest.
Who actually fool enough to believe this only a Democrat problem? Just about every Republican up there is doing the very same thing.
I love this. Those investigating will need to keep their heads low. There will be pushback. The corrupt need to be outed.
In contrast, I’m reminded of the late great Senator Tom Coburn. He slept in his office every night, and he went back home to Oklahoma every weekend and provided free surgical care to his constituents. The Senate subsequently outlawed that, saying that it was bribery or something. Unbelievable.
Don’t dodge the DOGE Dog’s disquisition to de-fund Democrats!
How did Nancy Pelosi amass $250,000,000.00?
The Cantillon Effect describes the uneven distribution of newly created money within an economy. When central banks print money, it doesn’t immediately circulate evenly throughout the system.
Instead, the first recipients of this new money – typically banks, financial institutions, and well-connected individuals – benefit from increased purchasing power before the money trickles down to the rest of the population.
By the time the newly printed money reaches the average consumer, prices for goods and services may have already increased, effectively reducing the purchasing power of those at the bottom of the economic ladder.
“The United States contributes significantly to the maintenance and operation of the International Space Station (ISS). The total cost of the ISS, including development, assembly, and running costs over 10 years, comes to approximately $160 billion, with the United States providing nearly $100 billion of that amount.”
Yes, we need to instead give that money to Musk to go to Mars for no productive or practical reason...
I think both ideas need to be put to rest. We have much more important practical priorities.
Bribery is such an ugly word.
Political Crooks and Traitors Incorporated need to be heading to Gitmo for life.
I agree. Party blindness is important or else it is hypocrisy.
The insider trading is from being aware of government contracts BEFORE they are announced. The other form of insider trading is being informed on rules and laws that are about to be announced.
The final kind is just being immersed in the minutiae of a specific industry. You get used to the rhythms and players.
The first two are illegal. The last one isn’t.
You’re right.
They all come to DC with modest professional incomes in 6 figures. After that 6 figures would be the annual interest earned on any one of their twenty investments and offshore bank accounts thanks to favors and obligations to syndicates and “friends” from foreign countries.
Laundering bribes through “bestseller” books and other scams helps keep the secrets.
Not a party affiliated phenomenon. Go git-em all, regardless of party or connections.
He has said that he is. I would look at RINOs first.
They know things we don’t and use that information to profit from the stock market. If we did that we’d be in jail for insider trading.
