Okay long time freepers, I need some help it it will come from someone that has been here at least 6 years. There was a list graphic on a thread that showed approx. 15 congressmen and it had on it each pol's Net worth when elected and Net worth after 4+ years. It was a staggering list that showed you just how much money gets paid to our supposed servants that serve us. On top of the list was a congress woman (this is no lie) who came in with a net worth in just 6 figures and I believe she was in eighth year a her now Net was 700+ million. Think about that. These people make about $200,000ish so where and how could this happen? Does anybody have that list. I've searched Google with no luck. I'm sure Google has it hidden.

I think your number of $700 Million is off, although Congress people (including both Reps and Senators) do very well.

You can easily google the net worth of members of Congress by name. Here's a list on Wikipedia of the richest Reps to get you started:

My guess that woman you’re referring to is Nancy Pelosi.

Not surprised you can’t find information on it. Censoring and scrubbing damaging information seems to be in vogue these days.

Even if you were able to call them on it, they wouldn’t be embarrassed in the least. I’m sure they think they’re ‘entitled’ to whatever they can amass during their time in Congress.

Net worth of Congress, well, there are the suits and the empty suits and that must be a pretty penny, and they don’t just eat sandwiches at a sandwich truck that drives by, in fact, they get chased out of posh restaurants by other people that you wonder how did they ever get in? Especially, without a posh suit and all. And then there are the ornate buildings with old wooden seats and statues and tile floors and that is a pretty penny too and if you had to sell that you must know some wealth Italian who’d make an offer to refurbish his piazza. Now all this is a pretty penny and we have not talked about wages. The wages of sin is death but the is a price tag that shows what is on top of the table for the public to see and what is done under the table. The under table stuff puts a new worth on Congress that people can’t imagine. Nations are in the balance and the price tag is huge. But because the public don’t know about this they have a hard time figuring out the worth. They see the Italian suits and shoes and $200 haircuts and think that seems to be worth a lot... but they have no idea, no.... I figure Satan knows the true worth of Congress.

Nancy Pelosi is worth a whole lot more than 16 million bucks. Her husband is worth hundreds of millions, maybe a billion

She reportedly spent more than 16 million of her husbands dollars to buy the Speakership
