  • This is the least of it. Representatives entire families are set for life. Somehow, everybody in their family gets stinking rich after election, and their book is always a “NYTimes best seller” because they are bought by the campaign (and dumped in a landfill), insider trading is rampant, super-PACs.

    I’m okay with someone in the military picking up some extra cash. Family has to eat, whether government is “shut down” or not. I hope it was some smart ass buck private.

    In the USA politics is the number three easiest way to achieve “financial security”, only inheritors and prosperity gospel preachers have it easier.








  • You must always remember, propaganda is everywhere (now more than ever), and it can be true (though often a bit sideways).

    I think it’s best to look at what is done, not what is said. For example, Biden’s campaign was strong on minimum wage, did the Ds increase minimum wage when he was in office? Nah. Trump’s campaign was strong on “cleaning the swamp”, did he clear the swamp when he was in office? Nah.

    The problem is taking them seriously. Look at who pays their bills… what do they want? That’s what will be done, they’re not backing campaigns out of charity or patriotism.
