10 limos at $1,000/hr for 60 Hours= $600,000.
They don’t order limos to get from Point A to Point B. They order limos from Time A to Time B. The limo company knows it’s US taxpayers paying so they jack up the price.
Also these limos are armored up to the point where they could take a direct IED hit.
Dump donates his $400k salary it’s fine

I’m actually curious what your solution would be? Can people earn money after being a civil servant? If so, how much?
More of saying it’d be a tough day at the office for them to spin that one.
Oh who am I kidding?
And a pretty racist white family at that. The level of vitriol in the African American community toward people like this is pretty damn acidic. And deservedly so. There’s basically nothing as gross to me as a person who started out poor, becomes rich, and immediately becomes a Republican. I hate them with a fury I reserve for very few people lol.
Ok the absence of evidence of quid pro quo is evidence for it. I see.
If I had my way the answer to that question would be no. The job of civil servant would pay a good bit better to make up for it of course.
I can’t actually believe you don’t see the massive conflict of interest involved in quitting government to collect large checks from people you were in charge of regulating in government. I’m sorry man but your complete lack of logical reasoning here makes it pretty obvious you’re a direct beneficiary of this system in some major way.
In the case of the Clintons it’s actually worse because they remained very powerful in the Democratic Party and everyone thought Hilldawg was going to be president one day.
I can see making money off a book after leaving office but it is bullshit you can charge like $75,000 to talk for an hour. But I think that’s more a capitalism problem and not a political one.
Well, can you show me evidence that’s it’s actually quid pro quo when a former congressperson is given a cush job in an industry they passed/blocked legislation for?
Coincidences happen, right? We need hard evidence.
Oh, you mean like Adam Carolla?
Guy bitches about how no one ever helped him at all and he grew up poor. To prove it, he’ll go on about how all they had was welfare. He’s got the same argument to disprove the existence of white privilege.
I heard a guy in the line to the dispensary a few months back. Dude was complaining about liberals and all the gov’t spending. They hadn’t even approved his wife’s disability yet. And she’s got a bad back, ya know?

Elaine Chao and Mitch McConnell are both lifelong public servants and are worth a combined $50 millionish. You can’t explain that.
Lance Armstrong, Arnold Swartzenegger and Richard Branson charge more than $100,000 for a speech. Is that corrupt?

And this is so so standard. But yeah you totally can’t prove there was any quid pro quo so I’m sure it’s totally legit.
Adam Carolla is hot garbage. No idea why Seth MacFarlane keeps using him
That is regulatory capture. It’s a different and real issue.
The water in the pot just got one degree warmer.

They are still in office. That’s a way different thing.
