MJ goes on:
Hillary's for-profit speaking gigs raise a serious question for a possible presidential candidate: Is she being courted by and/or providing access to the well-heeled companies and industry groups—including Goldman Sachs, the Carlyle Group, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, the National Association of Realtors, and the US Green Building Council, among many others—that have paid her to speak? "This is a great way for a company to get access to her, to hear what she's thinking, to be remembered if and when she does run for office, and to help her grow that nice little nest egg that she and her husband have been intent on building," says Meredith McGehee, policy director at the Campaign Legal Center.

It's sad what this culture now rewards. The access a politician can provide is worth millions, but the creativity of someone that can generate earnings of millions is most often worth very little.

ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA!
it seems to be going around .........pay to play...............
ReplyDeleteWith this generalised involution has come a pervasive corruption of the political class, a topic on which political science, talkative enough on what in the language of accountants is termed the democratic deficit of the Union, typically falls silent.
The forms of this corruption have yet to find a systematic taxonomy.
There is pre-electoral corruption: the funding of persons or parties from illegal sources – or legal ones – against the promise, explicit or tacit, of future favours. There is post-electoral corruption: the use of office to obtain money by malversation of revenues, or kickbacks on contracts.
Commonplace in a Union that presents itself as a moral tutor to the world, the pollution of power by money and fraud follows from the leaching of substance or involvement in democracy.
Elites freed from either real division above, or significant accountability below, can afford to enrich themselves without distraction or retribution. Exposure ceases to matter very much, as impunity becomes the rule. Like bankers, leading politicians do not go to prison.
Of the fauna above, only an elderly Greek has ever suffered that indignity. But corruption is not just a function of the decline of the political order. It is also, of course, a symptom of the economic regime that has taken hold of Europe since the 1980s. In a neoliberal universe, where markets are the gauge of value, money becomes, more straightforwardly than ever before, the measure of all things.
If hospitals, schools and prisons can be privatised as enterprises for profit, why not political office too?

You would need to pay me a lot for me to waste moments of my life listening to that obnoxious hag.
ReplyDeleteHard to buy inflation is under control, with the price of horseshit going through the roof...
ReplyDelete33 unpaid speeches at $250k a pop is a contribution of $8,250,000. Not bad, Madame Secretary. We're very proud of you.
