Coffee With Carib Carter | Episode 75: In today's episode, Carib Carter is on a tear -- as in he tears into Congress for "spending like drunken sailors" and sending inflation through the ceiling. But, he explains, their callous attitude towards the working class should come as no surprise -- since the average net worth of members of the US Senate is a tidy $7 million! "Probably a little more than you have in your bank account." All of which, Carib posits, helps explain why according to a recent Gallup Poll, only seven percent of the American people now have confidence in Congress. "Which," he hastens to add, "is four percent less than have confidence in Bigfoot!" But, not to worry, because Carib Carter tells you where you can escape to in beautiful Puerto Lopez, Ecuador -- where you can buy a beautiful, bargain-priced home on the ocean -- with a guest quarters -- and live carefree and lavishly... like the seven-milliondollaraires!
