He’s got a point. I’ll accept that Sanders is true to his economic values and has a modest and unsurprising filing. But, mygosh, if he can’t handle that on time, how the heck can he deal with the US budget?
I read that in his early years Sanders took his bride to live in a shack somewhere with dirt floors. Is this something he intends for all of us?
Bernie has a net worth of over 2 million dollars, pretty good for a guy who never had a non government job.
Bernie doesn’t plan on having a US budget, he just SPENDS till the money runs out!!!!
Or, maybe it isn't so modest and he is trying to conceal it as long as possible.
I've heard some Sanders supporters claim Bernie's net worth is only $300K. My (silent) response: if that's really true, he has nothing to boast about. Given his annual income during his years in Congress alone, at his age he should be worth a lot more than that -- unless he was a spendthrift.
OpenSecrets.org puts Sanders between $123K and $749K, with an average of $436K. The range is due to how disclosure forms are structured, as they provide ranges for each asset.
Note: the disclosure forms do not require personal residences or personal property to be reported, although some do and OpenSecrets includes them. The forms also do not require retirement accounts with the federal government to be reported.
For what it's worth, this is Trump's disclosure form:

The "number of pages" is a vast understatement. There are:
I'm sure the leftists will find something to complain about in the disclosure form, like "OMG, Trump owns stock in Evil corporation!!".
But, I'll bet that it didn't take long for Trump's accountants to compile this. I'll guess that he demands they keep this information organized and close at hand.
He’ll have his wife do the budget./s
