      Our professional political class makes millions through their connections and advance knowledge of goings-on in the private sector and legislative developments.

      Nancy Pelosi made tens of millions and has a stock trading pattern that people track because it outperforms stock indices by extraordinary amounts even long after she makes the trades. Biden has unexplained wealth, Hunter’s been a busy boy. Trump is clearly attempting to feather his nest, he doesn’t even hide it.

      I read a ten-year-old assessment in the changes of net worth among U. S. Senators and representatives. Eight of them had 300% or greater increases in their net worths while in office (seven of them were Democrats, incidentally). (R) Trey Gowdy was #9 at 278% return, but that was only to $178k total. Chellie Pingree, (D-Maine) had a 73,039% increase to $40 mms.

      With all of this wealth amassed, the House is investigating the sources of Ilhan Omar’s newfound millions. Should they? Absolutely…but I wonder why she’s the first.

      count me as extremely disappointed that more of our elected representatives are willing to put their assets into frozen or blind instruments while in office, and furthermore unwilling to codify this legally.

       

      I guess I’m in the lead for the “naive fool of the century” award
