Reagan Posted Monday at 08:20 PM Report Posted Monday at 08:20 PM From the article: "In a move that is likely to have many members of Congress on edge, Elon Musk is planning to have the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) look into how lawmakers have become “strangely wealthy” despite their relatively modest public salaries. One attendee at the town hall had asked Musk if DOGE had uncovered evidence of funds wired from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). “They’ll [the government] send the money overseas to one NGO [non-governmental organization], then they’ll go through a bunch of them, and then I’m highly confident that a bunch of that money then comes back to the United States and lands in the pockets of the people you just mentioned,” Musk replied. “But it is a circuitous route. It doesn’t go directly, but let’s just say that there’s a lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress where I’m trying to connect the dots of, ‘How do they become rich?'” Rank-and-file members of Congress make $174,000 annually. Last year, Musk — whose net worth is pegged at $330 billion by Bloomberg — helped kill legislation to raise congressional pay, then later supported an increase as a means of fighting corruption. Scores of lawmakers who have spent decades in Congress are millionaires." This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Quote

Trump could cure cancer and invent a car that runs on water and the dim witted haters would still be unhappy. Best thing to do is move forward and ignore them. baddog 1 Quote

Move on, brother, you ignore us anyway. In the timeless words of The Bard “he who laughs last laughs best”. Quote
