How, then, does Nancy Pelosi and her husband make millions over investments in businesses directly influenced by her role in the government?

Isn't Washington's lobbying industry wonderful.

One thing I like about the US is that it keeps a check on American politicians.

The constitution prevents them from abusing power, but not from enriching themselves.

Lobbyists should be given one of two options.



Find another job, or put the blindfold on and stand against the wall. It is despicable element of government.

Lots of MPs seem to be getting high positions in corporations after their term is done.



It is as if they get rewarded for something.
