Ever wonder how lowly paid lawmakers leave office filthy rich? Sen. Dianne Feinstein is showing how it’s done.

And here I am about to lose my home despite all efforts to get enough work to pay the bills and an elitetist uses his government connections to milk the system. It’s never been this bad for me financially. I had 6 figure years for decades.

Not news. If Difi’s hub Richard Blum did NOT profit on bills she pushed, THAT would rate major worldwide headlines.

Surely you know that we are in a “recovery!”

I know the feeling, my business income is less than 1/3 of what it was when the Rats took over congress in ‘07.

And the newspapers are always talking about the booming economy.

Gotta figure, most of them are looking for the big payoff when they finally leave Washington.

Remember Bart Stupak and the big struggle the democrats put up to get his final vote for Obamacare? He gave them their vote and walked away with a prized partnership with the premier DC lobbying firm of Venable LLP. His areas of expertise also landed him in the profit zone of Obamacare.

The Honorable Bart Stupak Partner

CBRE is a clod of a company. They have in their 10k that they have an inherent conflict because they represent both tenants and landlords. Very much of a conflict.
