When you speak to a liberal/progressive, you’ll eventually hear this aphorism: the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Well, that is most certainly true with one of the biggest powerbrokers in Washington D.C. and self-professed defender of the “little people”:
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 million in liabilities.
For 2009, Pelosi reported a minimum net worth of $21.7 million.
Wow! It looks like someone’s package was stimulated; and I’m not talking about Rep. Anthony Weiner’s.
Let’s give a big applause to all of those fat cats in Washington D.C. It’s nice to know someone is prospering in this crappy economy.
