How Members of Congress Get Rich Through 'Honest Graft'
Some times it's stock trades (John Boehner reportedly invested in several health care stocks shortly before killing the public option in last year's legislation) and other times it's simply making a well-timed business deal. (Like when former Speaker Dennis Hastert secured an earmark for a federal highway project that just happened to pass by some land he already owned. He later sold the land for $2 million dollars.)

Throw the bums out. The Senate isn't even representative democracy and should be abolished immediately.

I always wondered what the deal was that made these particular public servants such a pile of money while in office. After they retire they can do alright making speaking engagements and peddling influence, but I think they should put in their time first before they take payment for their souls.

I've always loved the idea of legal American bribery (aka "Lobbyists"). It is totally illegal to bribe a government official to curry favor, yet these lobbyists hand over hundreds of millions of dollars, totally legally, to keep things like cigarettes for sale, and other things that kill millions of people.
