$11,900 will get you a 1 BR studio in that communist shithole. Probably share toilet with neighbor too.

That comes out to over $140,000 in rent per year. How does a former congressman (an unemployable disgraced one, no less) and his government worker wife afford such a place?

This is the question I keep asking my 12 year old. How do politicians and their cronies all end up so rich? They aren't paid that much and most of them have never had a real job yet they go into government without a lot, they come out rich as Midas. How does this happen? The wheels are turning in her head, I'll continue to help her consider the likely reasons for their inexplicable wealth.
