Why Book deals will lead to audits of elected officials



Quite a coincidence here...

  1. Obama gives $365,000,000 contract taxpayer funds to Pearson Publishing for common core
  2. A subsidiary of that publisher then gives Obama $65,000,000  book deal after he leaves office.
  3. CEO of Pearson (Fallon) now decides it’s time to retire in 2020 - scrutiny of deals is heating up
A nice net of $300,000,000 to the publisher and a very nice net also of $65,000,000  to Obama .... The only loser in this deal is the taxpayer who funded all of it.

Obama net worth net worth pre election was under $1,000,000 post election it hits over $40,000,000.

Audits need to be performed on elected officials (this happens in all parties) and their families every year they are in office.  Question is should we continue to audit them for a period after they leave office too. Term limits would not help here as Obama did this in just his last 4 year term.
