But while these swine whose first thought was to rob veterans rather than sacrifice a nickel of their own Mammon continue to fail in their actual office, they do continue to enrich themselves, of course.
I still like my idea: strip them of all wealth gained while in office (beyond their congressional salary) and give it to injured vets. Make it illegal for any elected official to make any money except their salary during their term of office. (They can go on food stamps like our troops have to if that’s not keeping them afloat financially, and besides, these Congresswine all have rich friends who will give them lucrative jobs should they pull their snouts from the trough and waddle back to the private sector, which they all will should, by some miracle, my idea ever become law). Very soon, under my plan, we will only have elected officials who seek office in order to serve. Call it the PigsBeGone Initiative.
A total fantasy, of course. But I can dream can’t I?
