Taking his wife and dog for a spin in the presidential limousine.

Whatever your own particular "shade" of politics, it's impossible not to be impressed or beguiled by Jose "Pepe" Mujica.

Nice story @ http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-31679475

I thought maybe you were talking about Clinton. Hitlery said they were broke and far in debt when they left the Presidency.

I was trying to find where to post this.  Its about money & riches & good for thee, not for me.

- In 2012 Congress passed the Stock Act, "a bill meant to curb insider trading for lawmakers & their staff."
- When the SEC initiated an investigation into insider trading, "Congress moved to block the inquiry."

I always wondered if books & speaking engagements were enough to keep politicians happy.  Apparently not.
