If you want to see how the top 80 politicians did from 2004 to 2009, go to http://governmentgonewild.org/thelist Some of these jokers like Senator Harkin from Iowa who said we need to raise the debt ceiling to cover whatever they spend (instead of being responsible), need to be tossed out on their ear!
