Socialism is a ponzi scheme.
It's good to be at the top of the pyramid.
A good tutorial of the Chicago Halfrican and his crew's unfortunate sojurn in DC.

ITEM--- IN THE DC SWAMP Valerie Jarrett Received $36K Annual Pension For a Part-Time Chicago Transit job

EXCERPT--Chicago is known for its L-train but White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett prefers to ride the gravy train. $173,922 Jarrett earned annual as President Obama's senior adviser,* plus getting paid an annual pension of $35,660 for her eight years as chairman of the Chicago Transit Authority - a part-time position - appointed in 1995 by then-mayor Richard Daley (brother, William Daley, served as Obama's COS). Jarrett served as the former mayor's deputy chief of staff and was appointed to numerous other well-paid positions during his term. *NOTE: In Chicago parlance, Senior Advisor means Wire-Transfer Artist.
That one Chicago pension check is what she'll admit to. Wonder how many transportation bonds were issued while Jarrett was at Chicago Transit? Her pension payout would pale against her hidden income from lucrative insider Chicago bond deals.

ITEM---VALERIE JARRETT IS THE KEEPER OF (smirk) "OBAMA'S FEDERAL INHERITANCE" Iran-born Valerie Jarrett held secret meetings with Iran that resulted in the US giving Iran $150 billion dollars......later additional millions and gold got handed over secretly. H.J.Ansari Zarif, the deputy for parliamentary and Iranian affairs within Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said he would expose "everyone who allegedly accepted bribes" to facilitate Obama's nuke deal with Iran. "... we will reveal which western politicians received monies during nuclear negotiations to make #IranDeal happen,” Mr. Zarif reportedly
Post-presidency Obama and the missus have mega dollars dancing in their heads. Two Clintonesque foundations and the Obama "presidential center" fund are all set to get BIG donations from his Muslim confreres.
We need to see solicitation letters Valerie sent out...should be good for a few laughs.
Illannoy government at all levels is majorly an incestuous patronage/connected people system where jobs/pensions require democrat votes. Chicago is outrageously so.
Many whose jobs are only seen as needful by so-called progressives are living off of the churn as they unproductively shuffle other people’s money around.
These are jobs that are a net cost to society — as with lawyers who often fit the bill too, especially when you need lawyers to just talk to lawyers because the lawyers in politics have so twisted the laws that it takes specialists to understand them — that only consume resources uselessly.
But unlike with lawyers (the only way out of our present trap is to extend the equivalent of a basic law degree to everyone as much as possible as part of basic education, thereby diluting the value of the skill set) the way to freedom from government is actually less government.
