A billion is a thousand millions

and there are 535 members of congress. There are 535 members of congress. A billionaire who spends a billion just to buy congress's good favor would give $1,869,158.88 per member. How many of the 535 members could be bought for 1.8 million?

Trump could do that.

Goldman Sachs (Hillary) could do that too.

This system is bought and paid for. The corruption is so deep. Is it too late?
