AWOL WI Dem admits parents financially supporting him in lieu of paycheck. AWOL Wisconsin Democrat State Senator Jon Erpenbach is admitting that his mom and dad are now financially supporting him because he refuses to go back to Wisconsin to pick up his paycheck for being a state senator. In a TV interview from an undisclosed location in Chicago, the absent Erpenback also admitted that he was basically running out of money to support the hotel stay in Illinois that he has chosen for himself due to his refusal to come back to Wisconsin. He also confessed that he lives paycheck to paycheck and that he is grateful that his parents are there to prop him up. The only problem is that Erpenbach is 50 years old, which is an age that is too old for a man to still be relying on mom and dad (who are already on Social Security).

I suspect he said it to cover for the fact that his support is coming from illegal sources.

The jackass doesn’t have enough put aside to support himself for a few weeks and already needs someone else to subsidize him?

No wonder our economy is headed for the cliff.

Ok, so hotel, food, and expenses are covered by mom and dad? You admit this in public....as a grown adult? I’d be so embarrassed to admit this....it’s like number two down from taking welfare, and just above begging your cousin to take you in for a month. I’d ask some trucker to just let me ride in the cab across the US before I’d get myself in a hotel situation and begging my parents for money. I’d even be willing to clean dishes in New York City....before I’d beg my parents for money.

Must be a pretty good allowance from mommy and daddy for the dim punk. Covering his bourbon and hooker habit must be a b____.

I suspect that too.

‘Admit’ something shameful (and false) to cover up something illegal. It’s the Democrat way.

Like senator, like constituent. Democrats. The party of losers, for losers.

How long can these guys remain out of the state before they cease to be eligible to hold state office because they aren’t residents?

How soon until these DIM nitwits apply for unemployment benefits, food stamps and welfare? Maybe they already have. They are such a bunch of petulant self-entitled losers. However, they are DIMocRATS...so I guess that is expected.

Maybe because he doesn’t feel like it.

Rahm's basement. Mom's basement. It's all pretty much the same.

I just read an article that stated that Howard Dean was paying their way. Is Howard dean mad at this guy?

Somebody isn’t telling the truth here.

Is this 50 year old Democrat a Homosexual with no family?50 yeard old and cannot support himself for a couple of weeks is pretty sad.

Maybe he should find a cheaper room in some Motel that is closing down but renting to homeless.

he refuses to go back to Wisconsin to pick up his paycheck for being a state senator

How do they not have direct deposit?

He says “he is a paycheck to paycheck kind of guy”
And yet he is a state senator with supposedly a good salary and great benefits.

That paints a picture of a man that can not handle his finances, has no savings, spends more than he takes in, in short no one you want in charge of the state finances.

Of course he is the one leading the opposition to Walker’s efforts to balance the state budget.

At his age he is getting help from his mommy???

A Wisconsin senate committee passed a rule suspending direct deposit for the fleebaggers and requiring them to personally pick up their paychecks.
