House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) claims she will match campaign donations "dollar-for-dollar." Since she is wealthy enough to fund her own campaign without donations this seems a way of demonstrating her own financial commitment to her reelection. The problem is, her promise is false. Campaign finance reports filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show no matching contributions from her.
Pelosi insists that her promise is not false, that her contribution "is an in-kind donation consisting my day-to-day work in Congress. Yes, I do receive as salary as a member of Congress, but this salary is far below the value of my time. Considering the importance and impact of my work in government I'd say my time has to be worth at least $10,000 per hour. That makes my 'match' at least $20 million per year."
"My fund-raising letters are very popular with small donors," the Speaker boasted. Reading that I'm matching their paltry contributions makes them feel better about parting with scarce funds. It gives them a sense that they are making a difference and really aiding me in transforming America into caring, collectivist utopia."
