And why didn't you post the link to the article that describes the increase in wealth of other congressmen as well?

Senate leaders see their wealth rise - The Hill's On The Money

What is really the issue?

Is it that some Republicans can't stand the concept of Democrats being wealthy?

Is it the hatred that some Republicans have for a grandmother of six who is successful, wealthy, has a squeaky clean personal life and is NOT a Republican?
The top 10 richest members of congress includes 3 R's and 7 D's. I wonder why that is?

Crony Socialism: Obama Gives $737 Million to Solar Firm Linked to the Pelosi Clan

Don't you just love the historic levels of corporate cronyism going on in the 0bama administration? As 0bama has said:

"We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us."

Pelosi's wealth grows by 62 percent

This is another reason why we should end ALL government subsidies. The bigger the subsidies, the more opportunity for fraud, waste and crony socialism.

Is this administration most corrupt ever?

You may not be aware but family members scratch each other's backs. I retired before I was 50. While the success of my business was for the most part due to hard work and long hours, were it not for favors and back scratching from family and friends (and yes, my in-laws were enormously helpful in sending business my way), I would probably still be working instead of spending my days bike riding, kayaking, and goofing off on the Internet.

Are you really so naive that you believe a big government giveaway was assigned to the brother-in-law of the most powerful person in the democratic party by mere coincidence? Do you believe no favors were returned? If so then I have some valuable collectible objets d'art (or is it objet d'arts?) you might find of interest.

She wrote a fortune into Obama care, Billions to implement Obama care, this is a joke, law and order is a joke when it comes to elected officials, and their appointed stooges, America is Historys biggest cash cow. To bad the cash is going into precious metal and not Ft. Knox. And when the crooks behind it all decide to go back to the gold standard, one ounce of gold will cost $5000.00 or more. She needs to be in jail with the rest of congress.

The Libs have a great scheme. They stroke the weak minded and indigent into believing that they will be cared for by the government. This takes their eye off the ball while Mommy and Daddy raid the piggy bank.
