A few other jaw dropping quotes from the upcoming book can be found here:
"My main job is to keep my job, to get reelected. It takes precedence over everything."
"Fundraising is so time consuming I seldom read any bills I vote on. Like many of my colleagues, I don't know how the legislation will be implemented, or what it'll cost."
"We spend money we don't have and blithely mortgage the future with a wink and a nod. Screw the next generation. It's about getting credit now, lookin' good for the upcoming election."
Members of Congress are not the only ones on the chopping block; the author even rails against "incredibly ignorant" American voters, calling the country a "nation of naive, self-absorbed sheep who crave instant gratification."
The mysterious tell-all book is set to be released on May 24, 2016.
This may or may not be written by a congressman, he is using a 'pen name'. If he is a congressman it will soon be exposed unless he is better than the 'hackers'.
Why it interests me? Because I honestly believe we have many congressmen elected who truly want to do something good. Then they get involved in the rat-race of DC and are cowed by 'the old boy network' and fall in line. I think that one of these 'honest guys/gals' might actually want the public to know what really goes on. Many congressmen, inc. Ron Paul, have said most of their colleagues NEVER READ A COMPLETE BILL, just vote the day they are told.
It would be nice if this is an honest effort to right the many wrongs the newbie's learn upon arriving on Capitol Hill.
