I'll tell you, strictly my opinion: Congress spents their time rigging their market. Oh yes, it is a market, and the "Congressional Leadership," and that includes "K Street," is being paid one way or the other to fuck this planet up. Damn it, that is exactly what Congress does. Oh, and the real live market, the enchilada if you will, are the Executive Branch Presidential positions ... hundred million, Obama ... and if they create an independent organization hundred's of millions, Clintons ... and the Bush Family, too embarassed to guess --- Family Organization, omertà rules --- ... but, if you are VP, only crumbs, millions for favors while in office, VP's are the cash and carry crowd.
