Now I get it - fiscal responsibility is only for people with perfect lives!
And since Democrats are the party of the eternal victim fiscal responsibility is for “everyone else!”
Remember Laura Richardson? The California Democrat Congresswoman who recently walked away from the mortgage on her Sacramento home?
Well it’s not the first time she’s fallen behind on mortgage payments:
[T]he homes she still owns in San Pedro, where her mother lives, and Long Beach have fallen into default six times. The amount she owed ranged from $5,742 to almost $20,000, according to documents on file with Los Angeles County.
“She has this habit of missing payments and then trying to catch up instead of doing it monthly,” said Verla Saylor, who sold Richardson the Long Beach house and carried a second mortgage.
The defaults have come at a quick pace lately, five in the last 13 months and the most recent March 28. The five defaults totaled nearly $71,000. During much of that time, Richardson was bankrolling her political career, lending her campaigns for Congress and Assembly a total of $177,500.
Not only is this not the first time she’s defaulted on a mortgage, but her excuse when called on the carpet?
Her fiscal irresponsibility was “Due to multiple job changes, divorce, illness/death campaigns can come with great personal sacrifice and financial strain.” Therefore it’s okay. And you know, she’s special that way - no one ELSE with a mortgage goes through those things!
But wait! There’s more!
Not only has Richardson missed house payments, but she is behind on her property taxes, a lien was placed on her Sacramento house because of an unpaid utility bill, and she angered her neighbors by not keeping up her home.
Oh, and don’t forget that $150 campaign-related printing bill that took 9 months to pay, and then only after the debt hit the news.
Poor, poor dear! It’s so hard to get by on only $190,000 a year!
