Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has purchased a nearly $600,000 summer retreat on Vermont’s Champlain Islands, the Vermont newspaper Seven Days reported Monday.
“We’ve traveled up to the islands many times over the years — almost always on day trips,” Jane Sanders, the former White House contender's wife, said in a statement. "The entire family is very excited about it.”
“We’ve always been impressed with the North Hero community, eaten at the North Hero House and Shore Acres and have suggested them to friends who were looking for a beautiful place to stay or have dinner. St. Anne’s Shrine in Isle La Motte is my favorite church and it is nearby.” The Sanders’ new waterfront home has four bedrooms and 500 feet of Lake Champlain beachfront, Seven Days reported.

Yay! Socialism!
Remember - socialism works.. for those in charge.
No one leaves Congress or the Presidential office poorer than when they went in. Actually the way things are going lately, they should have a lotto drawing so everyone has a chance at winning a seat in Congress or the oval office. Like the current presidency, “anyone” could win.
Commissars get all the best dachas.
Suddenly the frumpy little marxist has some extra cash, huh?
For Kahn it was $375K. Bernie was cheap at $600K.
Otherwise, screw him, there are more important things to worry about.
It was listed for $300,000 but Bernie is a terrible negotiator
“Socialists” see these people coming from a mile away.
I wonder if any of them realize yet what stooges they are and how they were used. Who will they vote for? Another “socialist” or a capitalist who can actually help the bernbots buy their own $600,000 home by a lake.
The Bernettes need to know that Sanders made $7 million off their backs.
I thought that cheap commie bastard was “broke”!?
Why of Course!!!..as socialists..they all get to spend a week at "Bernies Place" for nothing!!..that was part of the $27 Donation!!!....I have 2 cousins that are headed there tomorrow...They said...they don't need a reservation....Thats how socialism works!
How do these $175K a year politician’s end up being mega multi-millionaires so quickly?”
Well, nothing happens to them if they don’t pay their income taxes, and we pay for their travel and health insurance for starters. If we on FR didn’t have to pay for any of these things for ourselves we wouldn’t be mega millionaires but we certainly might have some extra money left at the end of the month.
Bernie’s wife was a president of some university....probably pulling in a minimum of $300k a year during that seven-year period. If she banked it and invested the right way (they probably gave her a place on campus to live)....she would have had a million just sitting around. And Bernie’s pension is a five-star deal for a sixty-five year old guy.
And he bowed down to the Clintons.
He probably got an offer of either accepting a nice payoff or end up a corpse in Fr. Marcy Park.
Guess he took the deal.
Presidential campaigns can by very profitable.
Brrnie should summer in Venezuela. To show solidarity.
