Ever wonder how lowly paid lawmakers leave office filthy rich? Sen. Dianne Feinstein is showing how it’s done.

The US Postal Service plans to sell 56 buildings — so it can lease space more expensively — and the real estate company of the California senator’s husband, Richard Blum, is set to pocket about $1 billion in commissions.

I'm seeing this more and more online. I think DiFi will enjoy a lavish retirement at taxpayers expense.

Not to sounds sexist or anything, but I think all politicians should be required to use their spouses last name.

I don't care what name she uses. I think all politicians should spend a day in jail for every dollar over what their accumulated pay would equal (i.e. if they've made $1M in congressional pay over 20 years, but have a net wealth increase of $10M, they get life in prison for profiteering).
