I didn't know they had that kind of money. Does politics in the US really pay that well?

Nope 500k before taxes. But when you write the Net neutrality rules to benefit netflix, they're more than happy to give you 60m after office for your life story. Penguin publishing can also give your wife a 60m book deal when you put one of their cronies in your cabinet.

It does if you do the bidding of the deep state/permanent government, apparently.

This was debunked three years ago.

This rumor started with an article posted on Jan. 10 by a disreputable news site, WhatDoesItMean.com, under the headline, “Top US Admiral Fired For Questioning Obama Purchase Of Mansion in Dubai.”

Just as a former president's wife, Michelle Obama received a $65 million advance for her memoir, "Becoming," and she reportedly commands a speaking fee of $225,000, according to the linked story.

The Obamas also negotiated a $50 million deal with Netflix to develop programming. They are said to have a net worth of $135 million.

Regardless of what their financial status is when they go in, all Congressmen leave office as millionaires.

Would that sell enough to cover the cost?
