It's on now but it will be repeated many times this weekend. Politicians making a killing off the American taxpayers. Both sides and we will be bankrupt for their overspending. The hay day for government people in Washington.

WE HAVE GOT TO CHANGE THINGS FOLKS!!!!

The relatives of the politicians are raking in the money in Washington. All taking advantage of who you know. No term limits so they can stay there for years.

Lobbying is one of the worst blights on America. But who didn't already know that?

It is shameful. It's also why politicians are so rich. Graft and kickbacks.

Not that much of a fan of Hannity, who IMO tends to be an excuse-maker for Republican failures, but it is about time that someone covered this.

DC is now the richest region in the nation. Why that isn't pounded ad infinitum by our side, I'll never know. When we talk about 'revenue' solutions, we're talking about taking from the poor and middlle class of fly-over country and giving to the rich in DC.

Good post, Janelle!

Just watched the whole thing on YouTube and I can agree to a degree that DC has become more gentrified or an elite city partly because of government but that isn't the complete reason. Take Philly for example, a city that also produces 'nothing' as the commentators stated, it's grown to become a elite city as well without offering a product. Then look at big govt spending, the largest expenditure program (you named it, Social Security) in the entire US budget isn't even located in DC but instead Baltimore but that doesn't mean Baltimore is a boomtown. I can also agree that of Washington does slow down spending the street I live on (NY Ave in DC), will of course see a slow down in construction but that doesn't mean all construction in the city will stop. Remember, the city was built to house our govt therefore the city grows off of that but not completely off of that.
