Mr. Trump, with all his ‘yes men,’ geniuses and jackasses, won’t change course.

Dozens of Congress members outperformed the stock market in 2024

The stock market had a record-breaking run last year, but members of Congress still managed to outperform it with their portfolios making staggering gains in industries where they wield legislative power and influence, such as tech and energy.

More than 20 members made almost double the S&P 500 average gain of 24.9 percent last year. The top five performers — Rep. David Rouzer (R-NC), Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Roger Williams (R-TX), Morgan McGarvey (D-KY) — increased the value of their portfolio value by more than 100 percent, according to a new report.”

Arriving at Dulles airport on Saturday, we drove up towards the beltway. If you want to understand what has happened to the nation just look out the window. Companies put their corporate headquarters close to Washington…because, that’s where the money is. You’ll be impressed and appalled by the development all along the ‘access corridor’ that leads to the capitol city. Big. new office buildings… huge parking lots… housing developments stretching out onto the horizon… all the way to the Blue Ridge mountains.

When we were growing up, a few people we knew made the long drive in the capitol to work for the Feds. The pay wasn’t very good, they reported, but the work was secure. People gladly traded income for job security...........more........
