Chump change: <http://www.dailypaul.com/255712/rp-campaign-has-2011622-cash-on-hand-at-end-august> If you go to the FEC site you'll see that he's got 200K+ left in his House campaign, 1.9 Million left in his presidential one, and this doesn't count the PACS and committees and suchlike. Politicians get to do whatever they want with leftover campaign funds, including sticking it in their pockets. Also his declared net worth is between 1.8-4.9 million, based on his financial disclosures. He ain't some Everyman "Mr Smith goes to Washington" average guy kicking it at $40K driving a truck. <http://www.opensecrets.org/pfds/CIDsummary.php?CID=N00005906&year=2011> ...and hey lookee, while he's going on and on about the Gold standard and how people should buy it as a hedge against the oogaboogas coming out of the urbans, he's got significant stakes in a whole bunch of gold and silver producers. No conflict of interest at all, his interests mesh perfectly... -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
