Subject: Re: New Speaker Has No Bank Accts
Dope1: What's more likely is Johnson lives paycheck to paycheck'so much so that he doesn't have enough money in his bank account to trigger the checking account disclosure rules for members of Congress.

Carry on.


Umm, he's made a million dollars in the past six years and doesn't have $1000 in the bank?

Well, sure... that's the guy we need leading the House and funding the government, a fiscally irresponsible 51-year-old with a $250-500K mortgage, a home equity loan, and a personal loan who lives paycheck to paycheck. No wonder he doesn't understand the CBO.

And it's not like he's the exact kind of guy who'd be a target for bribery.

Oh wait.

So what's his retirement plan...sell classified information to Russia, lobby, or become a Fox News analyst?

Thanks for proving me right, though: the cult can find an excuse for anything.
