Maybe in the past politicians were honorable people, but these days politicians are a bunch of self serving, money thieving, power hungry leeches regardless of party affiliation. They are all millionaires and live apart from us "peasants".

George Washington another made into a saint politician. His reality according to the book making of the president 1776. He married Martha Washington, I don't recall her maiden name not because she was attractive, she was rather plain but because she was a WEALTHY WIDOW. George Washington had sort of an accountant background.
While he did refuse to be paid to lead the troops he did freely use his expense account.
I his own records, it shows he sent wagons and horses home and billed his expense account. He also sent home barrels a Madara a sweet wine. Reminder they did not know about germs but they did know that you would get sick from drinking water but not from tea or alcoholic beverages. Our declaration of independence, our constitution, miracle that I think they are. The writers, the debaters, the signors likely had a buzz on when they did this.
People have never been perfect. Edited people are not real but we do vote for them.
