Here are the numbers of the top 25 from Open Secrets.org [2].
And these are the people who want to be in charge of “oversight?” Are you kidding me? This like asking the frat boys at State U to be the security guards at the girls dorm.
Also bear this in mind: this is the TOTAL that Freddie and Fannie “invested” into lawmakers over a 20 year period. Please notice the second spot and remember that he has held HIS position for only 4 years. That’s an average of $31,500 per year. This is “Change we can believe in?”
For the record, McCain was number 62 on this list. His average is $1,000 per year.
