While America Suffered, Nancy Pelosi Got Richer

During 2010, her last year as Speaker of the House, Pelosi used her position to inflate her personal fortune by 62%, up to $35 million. Remember this the next time you hear some politician flapping his yap about their "service and sacrifice."

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's net worth skyrocketed 62% last year, to a jaw-dropping $35.2 million, according to financial disclosure forms released Wednesday.
