When he lost his Senate seat in '04 his net worth was between $500k and $1.25m. The Swamp is INSANE. I should have gone into politics, then maybe I could afford to take care of my family. |

Date: November 14th, 2024 10:16 AM Author: LathamTouchedMe Their Rolodexes are worth millions. You have an issue with some obscure regulation, you call a lobbying firm. The firm has ex-senators and ex-reps who can make phone calls to their friends in congress or in agencies. Powerful ex congressmen control a lot of the access to congress and executive agencies. They all are partners in government relations firms or they start their own firms.
They can also make shit tons of money from speeches. Your organization can add a ton of prestige and cachet by paying 50k to some famous ex-pol to speak and glad-hand a bunch of dorks who would love a photo and a chat (“I have this amazing idea on healthcare!”) |
