Kind of like how LBJ went to Congress penniless and wound up a multi-millionaire senator - and all on his gubmint pay.

When LBJ was president, he had an entire floor of the Old Executive Office Building full of staffers looking after his personal holdings.

Yes and he got the Federal Government to fund repairs to the municipal airport in Johnson City TX but forgot to mention that Johnson City didn’t have a municipal airport. The funds paid to expand his personal airport on the Johnson Ranch so his fat cat friends could land their personal jets on the ranch. All paid for with Federal Transportation money. He was a Senator at the time. They proudly talk about this bit of screwing of the poor tax payers when you tour the Johnson Ranch.
