With congress saying they will not be returning to work next week, it appears Kentucky representative Thomas Massie has decided to use the opportunity to expose Washington DC’s biggest secret. Something 99% of American voters do not understand:
Oh dear, he’s telling secrets. You see, congress doesn’t actually write legislation. The last item of legislation written by congress was sometime around the mid 1990’s. Modern legislation is sub-contracted to K-Street. Lobbyists write the laws; congress sells the laws; lobbyists then pay congress commissions for passing their laws. That’s the modern legislative business in DC.
I have been suspicious for some time now.
When you turn into C-Span and listen to the banter of legislators, you here little or no substance of the details what is entailed in the bills. 90% of the time all you hear is self serviing rhetoric built for campaign soundbites the next election cycle.
We all knew DC was a cesspool, but now it is becoming clearer that they are perpetuating an ultimate scam. Pitchforks anyone?
