-emphasis added-

they're a HUGE part of the problem.
long-time politicians have become so pampered by the many perks/benefits/bonuses they received over years.
and do not think for one moment that all of these bennies, were legal.

this really has evolved into an apathetic and corrupt administration.

these folks really do need to get in and out of there...
before their 'lights' go out, their inspirations, their visions.
because once that light goes out, it's over...
we have empty, tinkly light bulbs in our administration.

keep 'em fresh and enthused.
after a couple of yrs, get another aspiring politician.
this way they don't become a thousand times more unscrupulous.

definitely part of the problem.

The calculation of net worth in the report didn't include blind trusts, the spouse's wealth, assets in the children's names, maybe money hidden off-shore, or their multi-million dollar primary homes. Joe Biden only worth $27,000? Some with net worth of less than zero? It's all smoke and mirrors.
