A lot of it is about the money. It is an opportunity in D.C. To be immune to insider trading laws and make money off insider knowledge of the stock markets. Steve Kroft of 60 minutes did an exposé a while back. He tried to lean left, but even the people he interviewed showed that Nancy Pelosi doubled in value since she took office in Congress. Not too hard to connect the dots...
Of course it’s all about the money.
Can’t do anything PRODUCTIVE in life? Have your folks buy you a new suit, start glad-handing, run for office and you’re set for life.
Our Government was hardly set up this way. It just all makes me so flippin’ ANGRY.
Grrr! I’m gonna go watch the rest of the Packer v/ Vikings game. May as well enjoy myself, LOL!
