A few lines for you...
"CRP says California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa is the richest
lawmaker on Capitol Hill, with a net worth estimated at about $251
million. Next in line: Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), worth about $244.7
million; Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), worth about $214.5 million; Sen.
Mark Warner (D-Va.), worth about $209.7 million; and Sen. John Kerry
(D-Mass.), worth about $208.8 million."
So, Democrats are among the most wealthy in Congress. Now, two quotes
that are kinda out of order that illustrate why Congress (including
Obama) is so concerned about the bailouts, and why they are declaring
victory and are satisfied in the bailout of corporate stocks in spite
of 10% unemployment...
"A number of lawmakers are estimated to have suffered double-digit
percentage lossed in their net worth from 2007 to 2008. The biggest
losers include Kerry, who lost a whopping $127.4 million; Warner lost
about $28.1 million; Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) lost about $11.8
million; and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) lost about $10.1 million."
and
"Some lawmakers have profited from investments in companies that have
received federal bailouts; dozens of lawmakers are invested in Wells
Fargo, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America."
So, basically, a bunch of rich people in Congress (both parties) and
the Executive Branch (SEC Chairwoman among richest there), saw their
stocks fall and conned the country to give national debt bailouts of
their stocks to make them rich. Just like Al Gore's 100 Million
wealth from global warming in a deep freeze....it's always the same.
Follow the money.

Um, no.
How not? READ the article. They were rich. They bailed out
companies they were invested in...and they declare victory with
corporate bailouts and 10% unemployment.

On top of that, the congresscriminals got kickbacks on the bailouts.
Goldman Sachs told them - You give us billions of taxpayer $s and
we'll kick back millions to each of you.. |

More fixed news LIES!!!
The ONLY millionaires in Congress are GOP!!!!!!!
All the people with a D next to their name are hard working people who
have to really scrape by trying to raise the cash needed to campaign at
election time. That's why it's always a GOP guy who gets caught taking
bribes, and with a bunch of dirty cash in his freezer.

All but one of the top RICHEST Congressmen were Democrats, including
your beloved Sen. Kerry. He had to bail out his stocks. After all,
the article points out that he is ALSO one of the members that lost
the most when the market crashed. However, if ALL of the millionaries
are GOP, I guess Kerry switched parties...or.YOU are every naive.

Kerry is rich from his wife's ketchup. The guy's getting rich from
their business in Congress should be looked at. Here's some reading
you'll enjoy.
