This is what we get with citizen united. Money is speech and at the current time _none_ of this is illegal. Republicans want even _more_ of this. Mark my words, it will only get worse once Trump gets into office and starts giving away positions to his kids, friends, and family. They will milk this country dry.

too late-  the Clintons and Obamah have aready done it-  The Clintons and Obamahs arrived in DC with modest means during which time they have been" public servants"  yet the Clintons are now worth over 100 million $ s and Obama s  millions more than when they arrived

LOL.  You are talking like that is a new thing.  The revolving door of everyone from presidents down to lowly house reps giving speeches for mega bucks and/or being hired onto boards of mega corps is something that has been going on for DECADES. DECADES. Obama hasn't even left office yet, he isn't worth the millions the Clintons are.  Get your facts straight.

What I was talking about is the new norm where what once was outright bribary is now just business as usual, thanks to the supreme court.  Repubs and demos are currently just exploiting the new normal.  To not exploit it is to lose and neither one wants to lose.
