How?
How?
Everyone in D.C. is making huge sums of money - lobbyist, special interest, promised high dollar do little jobs when they leave congress, etc. etc. That is the game and we are being played. How else could people making less than 200k a year (often maintaining two households) become millionaires so fast? Pretty much all of them play the game.
The TEA party - yes - the people who wanted fiscal responsibility in government gave the GOP control of the congress. What have we gotten in return? How many more trillions in debt are our children? How much less are taxes now? Was government spending cut?
There is your answer.... D.C. is pay to play and both parties are guilty. I bet the net worth of just about every congress critter sent there has gone up since the TEA party revolution.
