All elected officials' bank records are public

We have the best government money can buy. We need to know how these elected officials suddenly become millionaires. ‘Book deals’ need to be transparent. Speaking fees, bribery, campaign donations, and other tools of influence need to be open to the voters. Audit trails of money sent overseas only to return to the pockets of politicians needs to be explored and shut down.

I would also add that no elected official can approve their own compensation increases. Public service should be that and take the place of any mid level managers job and be compensated accordingly. There should be no incentive to become rich by entering politics.

Why are colleges paying public servants hundreds of thousands of dollars to speak? That should be a free service. Then they want to forgive the debt of outrageous college debt.
