Politics. like War, is all about Money................from Rico

It's a racket.

Politics, like War, is a racket (Gen Smedley Butler was right) and all rackets revolve around money. The main question is cui bono...who benefits?

- When a politician speaks...no matter what elegant words are used...they are speaking about money, and it is money for their benefit. 

 

Congress, the People's representatives.

I had a friend bitterly complain about Congress being less than useless while telling me "the taxpayer pays their salaries."

- Let's follow the money.

 

Who really pays Congress?

These buttmunches could 'work for a salary of $1 per year and still leave office (if they leave office) millionaires and multi-millionaires.

- Many of them are 'broke' like the rest of their constituents when they first assume the position....er, office yet most sitting members are millionaires and multi-millionaires, and it ain't because of their tax-payer salary Sparky!

 

Money talks, and Congress walks.

Wonder why there hasn't been a repeal of ObamaCare yet? Why the Border Wall isn't being funded? Why Hillary's ass isn't already in jail? Ad nauseum?

- It's not the Republicans (R) and it's not the Democrats (D) it's the Corrupticrats (C) otherwise known as Congress.

 

Three billion reasons why.

Here are $3.1 billion reasons (per year) why Congress is useless, less than useless, to their constituents (read the suckers who vote them into office).

- K Street lobbyists [read: $pecial interest$] dictate what gets done, and what doesn't get done
