Sounds about right. I live in a conservative state (Wisconsin), and every government contract goes to a Walker donor. The state is running out of money for infrastructure projects because elected "conservatives" invest so heavily in corporate welfare. There's back room deals being cut everywhere. Need an example? The 2017 budget included $4M for an airport next to a Republican donors golf course, exclusively for private jets. If I wasn't writing on my phone, I would list more.
Perfect reason why we to get need money out of politics.
IMO, they all do. On the local level sometimes I think it is worse.
That's why there should be term limits, with no full pension after 6 years. Public financing of campaigns, and we get to see the tax returns of all candidates and their spouses and kids. No house dr or barber in the basement.
Get all the consultants out of any campaign. They should be in the unemployment line. If a candidate can't win with volunteers, they have no business in Congress.
