things like this article improve my thinking about gaetz and johnson. maybe they are honest which would be a good change in 'our' government;

Liberal journalists are attacking new House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA.) for not owning a fancy car or owning a million-dollar home. 

This week, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL.) roasted a Daily Beast reporter who scorched Johnson for not having “any retirement savings, own a single stock, or have any assets at all. He has less than $5,000 in his bank account.” 

The Daily Beast’s Matt Fuller linked his tweet to a story that discussed Johnson’s financial position as “extraordinarily precarious.”

Fuller mocked the new House Speaker for having a mortgage that only costs $250,000-$500,000, a home equity loan, and a personal loan. 

In response, Gaetz applauded Johnson for not taking advantage of his Congressman's salary and for not participating in the corruptness that D.C. boasts. 

“The Daily Beast is furious that @SpeakerJohnson isn’t rich, corrupt or rich from being corrupt,” Gaetz wrote on X. “He doesn’t have shady business deals. He doesn’t trade stocks as a congressman. Cry more, I guess?”.........more........
