If this was your typical crooked Dem, you can bet your butt that he would have gotten these tickets for free and then some. Now, that might be a story.
Who cares? He wasn’t nominated as my financial advisor.
He said that Kavanaugh has assets of nearly $1 million between the equity in his home and his retirement account.
In 2016, Kavanaugh reported having between $60,000 and $200,000 in debt accrued over three credit cards and a loan.
So he has a debt to assets ratio of about 0.25 or lower?? pretty good actually.
By the way, a simple mortgage on a house in DC can easily put you $200K in debt. Is that the "loan" they refer to??
I get a bonus airline ticket every year because I average about $25,000 annually on my credit card. And since I pay the bill on time each month, I always get the ticket every year.
Maybe that qualifies me to be on SCOTT’S.

Not too comfortable about the Jesuit influence.....
Wake me if they find cash in his freezer.
I just visited the Washington Nationals website to see about purchasing group tickets. There was no option to pay cash, and it specifically stated: Mastercard preferred by MLB.com
The financial statement is a snapshot in time. The 2016 statement showed debts for three credit cards and a personal loan, each between $15,000 and $50,000. The explanation was that he purchased six season tickets for himself and friends, with the friends reimbursing him, and that he made improvements to his home. The 2017 statement disclosed one liability, a loan balance of under $15,000 taken against his thrift savings plan account.
He also disclosed that he is a coach for his daughters’ 5th-6th grade and 4th grade basketball teams.
The Washington Post story, unlike the hill’s selective bit of quoting, is not really a hit piece.
Seems Kavanaugh is the Democrat’s STATED type of public servant, a guy who served his whole life, and didn’t take money for it, so he has very little. Although “very little” does include about a million in assets, counting his house and 401K; and he’ll have a pension, and his wife has a pension, and a job that pays about $60,000 a year.
This guy sounds like most of America, unlike most judges that are in the top 1%. It’s kind of a refreshing change.
And he’s pretty trusting, apparently he ran up the credit card debt buying tickets for friends, who then later paid him back.
I’m not sure I have enough clearance on all my credit cards to hit $200,000, although if you read the Post article, I’m not sure all of his debt was credit cards, as part of it looks like a 2nd-trust loan.
This didn’t include his home mortgage.
I loved baseball as a kid, but would never spend $8,000 for a season ticket to what passes for the sport these days.
