So is USAID how the low income Congress critters get rich so fast?

[justoffal]

A true dilemma......always wondered how ordinary, untalented Congress creeps of all stripes ended up worth tens of millions so quickly. Wanna bet this is how?

Possibly/probably.

I still say that before the month has passed, there's going to be another grift exposed that makes USAID look like a rounding error.

The corruption of 18th Century France has been equally matched by the corruption of 21st Century America. Instead of royal titles and largesse, we have carefully constructed an elaborate merry-go-round of media, NGO, contractor and government employment for favored individuals and their families to raid the public treasury in unprecedented amounts.

This corruption led France to a bloody revolution that lasted 10 years. President Trump is trying to avoid that outcome for the US, but will our political aristocracy hold out until a bitter end? Think carefully before defending the status quo.
