Congressman Says Corruption in Washington Is ‘Worse Than You Think’

Rachel del Guidice / @LRacheldG / April 14, 2017



Corruption on Capitol Hill is “worse than you think,” Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., insists.

“When you first get here, you think that you are in some sort of fairy-tale novel,” Buck said. “They wine and dine you and they show you just exactly what it’s like if you play the game. It’s a wonderful life.”

Things quickly change, however, if “you don’t play the game.”

“If you don’t play the game  …  it becomes a much less conformable existence here,” Buck said.

Well,  I think it is the foundation upon which that city lives,   so you are saying it is worse than that?

He'd know. Not exactly Mr Clean himself. (I cheated and looked him up - had never heard of the guy).

This was particularly eye opening.

"During the time he served on the House Judiciary Committee, Buck said he had to pay periodic dues of $200,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee, the campaign committee of the House of Representatives."

I had no idea.

And now we know.  What can we do about it?  Probably nothing.
