No one here remembers the discussions about the revealing of the Greenbrier resort?
It stemmed from Congress crying out for greater transparency, and some citizens questioned why Congress should have a secret private bunker (for themselves and ALL their family members) that cost 100's of millions of dollars, hidden and off the books.
It was a matter of transparency, accountability, and equality.
As far as enjoying nicer places, well, it's a personal choice thing.
There are so many IRA, and 401k millionaires sitting around, living in paid off million dollar homes, that it is strangling the housing market.
For me, I'm going to sleep in bed bug free rooms, eat meals with more than 1 utensil, on glass plates, and shoot shotgun shells until they quit making them, and then I'll make my own.
You come into this world with empty pockets, and that's how you leave.
Had a few days at the Old Faithful Inn recently, and it was great. No shooting though, just trout fishing.
