Congressional Republicans right now are telling us this is a golden age in our economy, a golden age. And the more I think about it the more I realize it is a golden age for them, right? They're doing just fine. You got a first family making two billion dollars while the guy's in office. Some of it from crypto investments from a foreign sheikh, you got members of Congress trading stocks while their votes move markets, and you've got our member of Congress apparently, reportedly, living in a home owned by his daughter, purchased in a sweetheart deal from a campaign donor, and you and I as taxpayers are paying his rent to be there as if he was in some kind of on -base housing.
