Oh God.

I'm learning a lot about this I didn't know tonight, thanks.

Ironically, as someone who would like government to employ smarter and more successful people, I'm left wondering how much of their finances we can and should expose. But given how corrupt things seem it feels like we still need to push on this.

Now before I start trying to imagine a way two high power congress members could game the public information requirements between each other, I should go to sleep.
