Brett Kavanaugh may become the ‘poorest’ Supreme Court justice
MarketWatch ^ | 7/10/18 | By Steve Goldstein

Posted on 07/10/2018 1:27:03 PM PDT by NohSpinZone

As of Dec. 31, Kavanaugh had between $15,001 and $50,000 in an interest-bearing Bank of America BAC, +0.04% account, and less than $15,000 in Vanguard funds within a 401(k) plan offered by the Employee Retirement System of Texas, according to his financial disclosure form.

He has fully paid off a loan from a thrift savings plan, as well as a credit-card account from JPM, -0.62% that appeared in a previous disclosure plan.

Not every Supreme Court justice has such a bland portfolio. According to watchdog group Fix The Court, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Stephen Breyer and Samuel Alito owned shares in 44 companies at the end of 2017. The justices also make money from teaching and book royalties.

Yes, obvious to sane rational thinking individuals but note this will be yelled by the irrational psycho dems.

He has fully paid off a loan from a thrift savings plan... He borrowed from his TSP account? (for those that have never worked for the federal government that is the retirement savings account you can contribute into and the feds match up to 5%). Gee, he must really be as poor as a church mouse, borrowing from your TSP really is a last resort type thing. I can officially say I'm wealthier than a Supreme Court Justice nominee, and I'm not wealthy....

Believe me..., if you move to the DC area from most anywhere in the USA you are in for a shock (Like San Francisco or New York).

I moved and the selling price of my Alabama home WAS THE DOWN PAYMENT FOR MY VIRGINIA SUBURBS HOME! Loans against retirement savings were my only life preserver!

"The fact that he has an account with BoA is suspicious."

On the Leftist blogs, this will drive a huge conspiracy theory, linking banks and Russians and illegal alien babies.

We have put three kids through private school in lieu of saving as much as we would have wished. Worth it in our view.
