House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) saw her net worth rise 62 percent last year, cementing her status as one of the wealthiest members of Congress. Pelosi was worth at least $35.2 million in the 2010 calendar year, according to a financial disclosure report released Wednesday. She reported a minimum of $43.4 million in assets and about $8.2 milion in liabilities. For 2009, Pelosi reported a minimum net worth of $21.7 million. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) also remained a multimillionaire. He reported that his minimum net worth in 2010 was close to $2.1 million, with zero liabilities. His 2009 minimum net worth was more than $1.8 million. Forms disclosing the assets and liabilities of lawmakers for the 2010 calendar year were released Wednesday. The forms give a good estimate of lawmaker wealth, though they show ranges and not precise values for stocks, pension plans, vacation homes and other assets of lawmakers. Pelosi saw her wealth rise due to some stock gains and real estate investments made by her husband, Paul. Apple stock owned by Pelosi's spouse rose from at least $500,000 in 2009 to $1 million in 2010. The minority leader's husband also took a bigger stake in Matthews International Capital Management — worth at least $5 million last year, compared to $1 million in 2009 — and his investment in some undeveloped residential real estate in Sacramento, Calif., jumped to at least $5 million in value. Paul Pelosi also has sizable assets in the United Football League, including $1 million in a partnership interest in a Jacksonville, Fla., franchise and $5 million in a partnership interest for the Sacramento Lions.

"Keep Your Goddamn Government Hands Off My Medicare!" - Various Tea Party signs.
There is no recession...in Washington DC. Kinda explains Pelosi Galore's 'let them eat cake' attitude, eh?
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
And those liberal cattle futures just keep growin', Destro.
war has to do something for entertainment. The voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.
Huh?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" And????? She made this money from exploiting her political position. This is the way that decedent Europe works. It's not the way that the United States of America is supposed to work.
And those liberal cattle futures just keep growin', She made this money from exploiting her political position. So it's a conspiracy when the rich get richer, eh? So the Koch brothers DON'T exploit workers when they ask states run by Republicans to cut back on taxes on the rich but Pelosi who would welcome an increase in tax on her income bracket is somehow gaming the system. ......Republican weirdos.

America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" A left-wing fiction. Andrew Carnegie built steel mills, Charles Crocker built railroads, John Rockefeller drilled for oil. These people built America. They are heroes.
Uh...no... You mentioned Carnegie...look no further than the incestuous relationship between Carnegie, Frick, Bessmer, Mellon etc etc etc and the politicians who ran Pittsburgh. Crocker...he was legally empowered to SEIZE any piece of land that he wanted one mile to either side of his rails...and he did...well...why was he so authorized? TeaPot Dome... Do you believe that TR believed it to be them to be a left-wing fiction?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Oh please... The government had a vested interested in seeing the intercontinental railroad built which opened the west, facilitated mail delivery, and created jobs for union and confederate solders, freed slaves, German and Chinese immigrants, and others which helped bring the country together after the Civil War. The government used its power of eminent domain granted to it in the Constitution to purchase the land needed for the railroad to be built. It's no different than the government using eminent domain today to build roads, bridges, parking lots, etc. which Democrats claim they want to invest in.
Oh please what? The government used its power of eminent domain granted to it in the Constitution to purchase the land needed for the railroad to be built. What did you ***think*** of the Kelo decision?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!"
