Politics As Usual

The article on the Congressional Black Caucus is just politics as usual. It's already widely-known that politicians use their positions of power to pocket money from major companies so it comes as no surprise that the Congressional Black Caucus is doing the same. The real surprise is how little of the money that the Caucus is using on philanthropic work. The fact they spend more money on a lights show than scholarships is a bit questionable.
I'm not criticizing the C.B.C. for their practices because every politician is doing what they do. That's the problem with politics though, it seems the companies are the ones making the real decisions in Washington and that no politician is clean of "dirty money."

Wall St. Helped Greece to Mask Debt
While American politicians are pocketing millions of dollars from major corporations, politicians all across Europe are scrambling for money to help repay Greek debts. Why are politicians all across the world so sneaky? Aren't they supposed to be helping build up a country so why do they have to be so secretive with with they're doing with the country's money? Just a question.
