Mexico is an oligarchy...of around a hundred or so “families”...they like it like that. Methinks each of our Senators is beginning to think of themselves as just such an oligarch.......

Of that I have no doubt at all. Today, there is less turnover in our Senate than in the old Soviet Politburo. Free private jet travel courtesy of "friends" is very seductive. Our senators certainly are selling themselves, to become permanent members of that power club.

I wish term limits could get passed. That could erase so much corruption.

Yeah..well that goes on only as long as we the people let it happen.....
