The Washington Post reports: Privately Funded Travel Adds Up on Capitol Hill. "During past 5 1/2 years, lawmakers accepted nearly $50 million in trips from groups seeking legislative favors, according to a comprehensive study." Some of it was illegal, most of it was legal. This is the corruption that pervades our Capitol. The incumbents have legalized bribery of their votes allowing for an average of $10,280.37 per Congress Person in free trips and vacations sponsored by lobbyist interests.
This is just the tip of the ice berg, and excludes campaign contributions and other perks and bribes, legal and illegal.
