It may be acceptable for them, but I'd prefer people who have financial sense in charge of the budget and people who are so power hungry as to forgo money kept as far from governance as possible




So you're saying we currently have a Congress with financial sense?

Only moreso than the counterfactual. The status quo only rewards those with financial sense who are willing to be a little corrupt, which undermines the effect. Really, we should just pay them 7 figures

People who want to enrich themselves rarely care about others. It's the opposite of people you want running a government.
