Comparative Pricing Of Senators in the U.S. Congress Pricing Senators is tricky. First, who are their current owners? And before they became tenured, were there many nameless donors? Above all please remember that no Senator is free. Someone paid a bundle to advertise him on TV. Was there mention of the side effects? Sponsors rarely are that crazy. Yet it always is surprising to find a bloke that lazy. But to unregulated bankers, he's a credit defaut swap, And to monopolistic health insurers, a ticket to the top. Rank his main campaign contributors to see who has first dibs On what bills he's s'posed to vote against – on his repertoire of fibs. An idiot like Baucus cost health insurers half a mil. Menendez, Lautenberg et al., it seems lack Baucus' skill. But don't jump to conclusions. They've been in Congress long enough To warrant the suspicion they'll find more money making stuff.
