It's nice to know someone is prospering during the 'Obama years'. The rest of us are watching our home values and retirement investments plummet.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) reported a minimum net worth for 2010 that was more than 50 percent higher than the prior year, according to personal financial disclosure forms made public by the Clerk of the House on Wednesday.
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) also saw a healthy growth in his minimum net worth, but the total change in his case is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, while Pelosis is in the millions.
Pelosi, who ranks among the 50 richest Members of Congress, reported $43.45 million in minimum assets, according to financial disclosure reports released Wednesday. That marks an increase of more than $13 million in assets from 2009.
How in the hell do they do this while “working” in congress?
KICKBACKS!
SO WHY ISN’T OUR SIDE OUT THERE SLAMMING THE SNOT OUT OF THIS?????
WE SHOULD BE MAKING HAY OVER THIS....TELL THE FORMER SPEAKERETTE IF SHE BELIEVES IN “PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE” TO CUT A CHECK FOR 85% OF HER WORTH OR SHUT THE H*LL UP!
THEY MAKE IT SO EASY, BUT WE REFUSE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE.
Looks like ole Nancy was highly stimulated!
Her stock broker is EF Glutton.. and when EF Glutton speaks.. her net worth goes up automatically. Go figure.
“How in the hell do they do this while working in congress?”
Typically they have their spouse collecting juicy government contracts that they write appropriations/laws that benefit the spouses business. It’s all a wink wink nod nod type of thing with the government agencies being told to give the contract to so-and-so company.
Wow, I saw my net worth cut in half in the last two years. Sure gives definition to share the wealth.
It appears to come from her husband’s real estate investments. Surprisingly, his San Fran office building increased in value by $20 million.
About 25% of House members and about 50% of senators have a net worth in excess of $1M.
To use a popular term, they have no skin in the game.
Our elected officials will continue to behave as royalty as long as we, the electorate, allow it.

Is CA a community property state? Pelosi is getting a little long in the tooth - time for an upgrade.
She’ll have a lot to answer for when her time is up.
Congress is the only group of people who could get away with insider trading.Why do you think they have all of these committee meetings?There sure Not for our(The Publics)benefit.
And Of course Goody Goody, Bonehead just Weeps,He needs to attack this Brain Addled parasite and make her answer, where the money came from?
Because 'our' side isn't our side and they are doing it every bit as much as 'their' side. Much as I may like their politics, the members of 'our' side are untrustworthy, with the exception of (maybe - just maybe) Ms Palin!
The elitist bastards get richer off our money. Pelosi, of course, is detestable, but I read today that spineless Boehner banned GOP members of Congress from going to Glen Beck’s event in Israel. Boehner is a waste of space.
pot callin'....kettle black....(typical 'rat "projection")....
god-d@mn Marxist(s) goons..congressional grifters.
Takign a cue from the nut this week - “We must eliminate the rich”.
We’ll start with all the liberal politicians.
