This line of crap is so far off the truth as to be laughable. Democrats have all been lying in unison about the 'Clinton' surplus..... the Balanced Budget Act was ENTIRELY created by the Gingrich led REPUBLICAN congress that came in 94.... they forced Clinton to go along with the spending cuts and the result was the balanced budget during that time. Clinton fought it hand and foot, but when it turned out to be a positive thing, the lying son of a bitch had the gonads to TAKE CREDIT FOR IT!

Uh, okay.

So what happened to that glorious Republican Congress that balanced the budget?

Was in not a Republican Congress with a Republican President that pissed away that surplus within a few months of Bush taking office?

Got to admit Clinton was the most shameless whore that ever served in the presidency...no one will ever be a more accomplished liar....

Such an accomplished liar that people actually believe that there was ever a surplus during his administration. There wasnt.

He's certainly a better liar than his successor, who couldn't even convince anybody that Iraq had anything to do with Al Queda and was stuffed to the gills with WMDs. Who would ever have believed that?

Greetings all....

I DO NOT know the background of this source. I just googled "congressional millionaires" and this was the first site that gave more than the top 10 list.

http://www.opensecrets.org/pfds/overview.php?type=W&year=2008

I do know that for many years now, the richest members of Congress have overwhelmingly been Democrats. On this list for 2008, if I counted correctly, only 9 out of the top 25 were Republicans or roughly 2/3 of the top 25 richest people in government are Democrats. On this and another list, only 2 out of the top 10 were Republicans. I am certainly not going to argue exact order because they only have to report a range, not actual numbers. From the little bit I have read, the number of millionaires in Congress, both House and Senate, is more than the 25 listed on the link above.

So...based on who is running the country, which is supposed to be our elected officials, the party of the rich is the Democrats by a large margin.

Be well all....
