The Rich Line Up at the White House ATM
[font size="3"]
The wealthiest administration in American history is primed to make even more money for its already well-to-do staff.[/font]
... and the GOP toadies who
are M$M, happily lick the hands of the Grand Old Plutocrats, by calling Trump's nativist, xenophobic administration "populist"...... M$M helping to lend verisimilitude to a Trumpian Big Lie.

Some of the latest hooey uttered by White House press secretary Sean Spicer the man from whom a seemingly bottomless wellspring of hooey flows was his pronouncement the other day that having so many fabulously wealthy men and women working in the White House is a good and wondrous thing.
The president has brought a lot of people into this administration, and this White House in particular, who have been very blessed and very successful by this country, and have given up a lot to come into government by setting aside a lot of assets, Spicer said.
People are often told they have to sell an asset or get rid of something to come serve in the government. And theres a lot of people that have done a lot to come into this administration to give back, that have been inspired by the presidents victory and the presidents agenda to move the country forward.
You bet, Sean. In a world of haughty ideals and self-professed high purpose, some would call this notion noblesse oblige that with wealth and power comes social responsibility; to whom much is given, much is expected, etc. And so it should be. But in Donald Trumps world, snagging a White House job doubtless will be a solid gold vehicle for using wealth and power to generate more wealth and power for yourself and others, taking optimal advantage of an opportunity handed you by the rich guy who, thanks to the deficiencies of the Electoral College, has landed in the most lucrative pot of jam ever.
