1. The net worth for them goes up the longer they stay. It would be interesting to see the
net worth figures on the House, and to watch it grow after each term.

2. The only stat that surprises me is that
only 66% are millionaires. I figured it would be 100%.

8. Who';s shedding tears.
Neither Bernie or Pat is close to being a millionaire. That's just factual, dear. Or are you now into hating facts that don't jibe with your pov?

6. This is a minimum net worth stat.
A maximum net worth grabs several others. Reporting methods are a "little" opaque.
