Who’s Your Favorite Corrupt Public Servant Turned Millionaire in Congress? Because apparently, crime pays—if you’re in politics.

While all information shared here is based on publicly available sources, historical documentation, and open records, everything is still alleged—unless, of course, you feel like taking your own deep dive down the rabbit hole. The truth, as they say, is in black and white… on paper… in ink. And yet, oddly enough, no one seems to get arrested. Ever.


Let’s Be Real—Where Are the Arrests?

If the average American misses a single tax payment, the IRS knows exactly how much you owe—down to the penny. They’ll garnish wages, freeze accounts, and make you feel like you just robbed a bank.

Meanwhile, our own government has “lost track” of trillions, but no one is being held accountable. No one’s getting perp-walked on CNN. No public hearings that result in orange jumpsuits. Just promotions, re-elections, and bigger checks from donors.


Let’s Start With This:

✖️ $2.3 Trillion “Lost” by the Pentagon

On September 10, 2001, then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld publicly announced that the Pentagon could not account for $2.3 trillion in transactions.

That was the day before the September 11 attacks.

Coincidence? You decide. The investigation never reached the public’s eye. The news cycle changed overnight. And guess what? That money was never truly found.


✖️ 2008 Bank Bailouts – Where Were the Receipts?

When Wall Street drove the economy into a ditch, $700 billion in taxpayer dollars were handed over with almost zero oversight. The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) was supposed to stabilize the economy, but instead, bank executives gave themselves bonuses, kept their jobs, and left millions of Americans jobless and homeless.

Where are the detailed receipts? Where are the itemized bailouts? Who approved them, and how much did they get from lobbying firms afterward?


✖️ COVID Relief: Trillions… to Who Exactly?

Over $4.5 trillion was allocated for pandemic relief. And yet, billions went to fraudulent claims, corporations who didn’t need it, and contractors with political ties. Small businesses were strangled while multinationals got richer.

Ask your neighborhood café owner how helpful those “relief” programs were. Meanwhile, companies like Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Shake Shack, and big airlines got slices of the pie—until public outcry forced a few to return it.


Congress: The Only Job Where Insider Trading Is Legal

Members of Congress are supposed to serve the people—but somehow, many of them leave office far wealthier than when they entered.

Examples:

  • Nancy Pelosi’s net worth rose from around $21 million to over $120 million. She and her husband have made timely stock trades—right before big government moves.
  • Mitch McConnell and his wife, Elaine Chao (former Transportation Secretary), have ties to shipping companies and Chinese business interests.
  • Dianne Feinstein’s husband had major defense contracts while she sat on committees that voted on military budgets.

And don’t even get us started on the 2020 Senate stock sell-off scandal when senators dumped stocks after a private COVID briefingweeks before lockdowns started.


Why Don’t Politicians Wear Sponsors Like NASCAR Drivers?

If athletes and drivers can slap logos on their uniforms, why not our lawmakers?

Imagine seeing:

  • “Sponsored by Pfizer” on a senator pushing pharma bills.
  • “Brought to you by Lockheed Martin” on the suit of a defense hawk.
  • “Google/Meta Approved” stamped on tech regulation hearings.

It would be funny… if it weren’t so tragic.


This Isn’t an American Dream—It’s an American Nightmare

We were sold a lie. Work hard, pay taxes, stay out of trouble—and you’ll succeed. But here we are: taxed to death, drowning in debt, rent going up, groceries priced like caviar, and wages staying stagnant.

Meanwhile, Congress dines in luxury, flies private, and gives our money to corporate interests and foreign wars, then turns around and tells us there’s not enough left for education, infrastructure, or affordable healthcare.


Final Thought: Follow the Money, Always

This isn’t just politics—it’s a heist. And we’re the ones footing the bill.

Everything isn’t what it seems. And frankly? I’m done giving my money to spoiled, rich children playing pretend in the halls of power while the rest of us suffer under bills, burnout, and broken promises.

It’s time to speak out, ask questions, and stop accepting corruption as normal.
