Did You Know Congressional members net worth up 3669 percent?

Here is a link to the list of the Congress Members and their net wealth change over the last two years. What do you think about Congress profiting so grotesquely while the average American is struggling to get by in a horrible economy?

    With 8 of the 11 wealthiest politicians in Congress being Democrat - doesn't surprise me in the least.

    I think this is more of a case where running for Congress continues to be a game for millionaires. The average citizen just can't afford to run any more. The days where a Joe Biden can become a Senator simply by working his way up continue to fade away.

    Wow and Republican John Bohner will make money if the ceiling is not raised in his personal investment hedges.
