Should Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and others in Congress who have made fortunes while in Political office be audited?

I think every elected official should be audited for conflicts of interests.

Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, has been a prominent businessman in real estate and venture capital for decades. So Pelosi hasn’t built a fortune from her government salary; most of it stems from her husband’s investments.

Biden has been a senator since 1973 and has moved from 42k a year to 230k a year. He also enjoys earnings from books and speaking engagements.

No skullduggery there. But feel free to audit anyone in congress; yes, they are public servants meant to be held accountable.

Every single f'ing one of them. President, congress, cabinet members. Every couple of years.

Not unless we did it to republican politicians as well of similar income. Would be unfair to defame them personally if all of the Congress was doing the same thing.
