Far too many go to DC and see their wealth grow exponentially. And financial disclosures need to be far more detailed.

There is just no legitimate way to move to DC with modest means, earn the $174k salary (which I argue is too low), pay the high DC cost of living, and have one’s net worth explode like so mny seem to do.

It would take Congres to pass the rules to address this, and well…that’s not going to happen.
