Well, at least she had the decency to recuse herself on two votes relating to the California housing crisis.

Too bad (for her) that her gamble didn’t pay off. Maybe she should try the racetracks next time.

"The report says she recused herself on two key house votes on government efforts to address the foreclosure crisis."

At least she had the good sense to recuse herself.

It’s someone else’s fault, no doubt.

Aren’t home mortgages non recourse in California, i.e., owners can walk w/o being liable for any deficiency?

It’s not her primary residence. According to Capitol Weekly, “[s]he also owns a four-bedroom house in Long Beach, in her Congressional district. Real estate records show she purchased that house in 1999 for $135,000. An estimate from Zillow.com puts the current value of that house at $474,000.”

Why is this even newsworthy? We can see their fiscal philosophy with every budget proposal.

I believe that she could have paid her mortgage on her Congressional salary. What a rotten example.

Congressional Ethics committee might be interested.

Opps, didn’t see the (D). Never mind.

ting the house slip into foreclosure and left it in shambles less than two years after she purchased it with no down payment.

Kind of like what the Democrats are doing to California and want to do to the US.

Nothing new in the urban sense of things.....the Metropolitan Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) in Atlanta once had a chairman of its board who, very recently before ‘earning’ her position was on welfare and lived in public housing.
