It was an honest mistake.
Far left moonbat Elizabeth Warren made $192,722 during her gig as chairman of a congressional committee in 2009. Her campaign said the government only paid her $64,268.
This is the same socialist crackpot who last was seen on tape lecturing business owners about forking over their profits to their benevolent government.
WARREN: I hear all this, “You know, well, this is class warfare. This is whatever.” No! There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody! You built a factory out there? Good for you! But I want to be clear: You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You, uh, were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory and hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us did.
As Rush says, “Dealing with liberals is like dealing with a one-armed lunatic.” Rush also calls Warren a Marxist.
The Politico reported, via Human Events:
The campaign for Democratic Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren said Friday she had been paid $192,722 for serving as chairman of a congressional committee that monitored the 2008 federal bank bailout, three times as much as had originally been acknowledged.
The Warren campaign revised the figure following a POLITICO report on Thursday, highlighting the fact that the Congressional Oversight Panel, which oversaw the TARP program, has not publicly disclosed exactly how it spent $10.5 million on salaries, travel, consultants and other expenses. Warren said she now supports public access to the oversight panel’s records, though her campaign wouldn’t say if she plans to actively push to open up the records.
Warren served as the oversight panel’s chairman from its creation in the fall of 2008 until September 2010, when President Barack Obama tapped her to help launch the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Senate Republicans, however, blocked her from being formally appointed to head the new agency.
Warren spokesman Kyle Sullivan initially said Warren, who is seeking the Democratic nomination to take on Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) next year, had earned $64,289 for serving on the oversight panel, based on executive-branch financial disclosure statements she filed for 2009 and 2010.
But Sullivan told POLITICO on Friday that the campaign had overlooked $128,433 Warren earned from the panel in 2009.
“In a rush to meet your deadline, we made an honest mistake,” Sullivan said. “And we misread a document and thought $64,289 was for 2009 and 2010. It was only for 2010.”
Warren testified during a Dec. 10, 2008, hearing of the House Financial Services Committee that she considered her role as chairman of the TARP oversight panel “a part-time job,” as did its other members.
Maybe she borrowed Geithner’s copy of TurboTax?

Simply amazing how well the hogs feed at the public trough, and make shrill demands for more.

Someone needs to ask Elizabeth when the Social Contract requires her to respect private property, and requires libs to be patriotic, and moochers to get off of welfare? And keep asking.
The Social contract is a two way street, lady.

Socialism for thee.
Capitalism for me.
Once they get on the inside all they want to do is stay there. To do that they just need control. Once they have control, they keep getting the goodies, but the rest us, no, no, no, …we should SHARE what we have.

Stupid bitch cannot survive without tax money. Cut her off, let her starve.
Sasja commented:
Why are they being paid to chair a committee? Why do we need a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? Why do we pay them to take vacations under the auspices of “fact finding”? Why do we not see any legislation from the Rep House and Senate to defund all these worthless bureaucracies? Why do some of us even accept the premise that hitting SS, medicare, our armed forces is necessary as part of spending cuts. Congress is out of control and it looks as though it’s going to take more than voting to set things right.
Earthmover commented:
Impressive but not as impressive as Michelle Obama and her part time
work at the hospital where she made over 300k PART TIME! And it was
such an important position that when she left, nobody filled the job! WOW
jony101 commented:
only government workers would consider a 190.000 dollar a year job “part time”. Fire all these “part time” workers and it will balance the budget.
Since the government wont deport the illegals, hire them to work in the government, they will work for minimun wage and not complain about it , though they will wave there mexican flag from time to time. The liberals and the illegals both hate america so there wouldn’t be any difference, just save the taxpayer money.

How the blazes do you “overlook” more than $100,000? You “overlook” a five dollar bill. You miss-add by $100. One hundred thousand dollars plus? In a pig’s eye. Somebody grab the fire extinguisher – her pants are flaming!

A $120K is a honest mistake? Following these idiots around could be listed as shovel ready jobs.

So a few thousand more in income, and Warren will be one of those rich people we hear so much about that needs to start paying their fair share in taxes, right?

Rhoda R commented:
The idea of ‘overlooking’ $100,000 for part time work would resonate with people who work for a living (and a bunch of unemployed for that matter). If Brown doesn’t push this as an example of her inability to deal in the real world then he deserves to lose.

The Liberal/Progressive/Communist/Democrat mantra is: Shut the f#ck up and give me all your money peon, it’s for you own good you ignorant, racist, homophobic redneck!!.
Spider commented:
We are all outraged but it never goes anywhere.
This will get little play in the media, and the schmucks in Mass. won’t care anyway. In fact they will realize she is good at it, and she will of course cut them in once they vote her in.
The Amerikkan way is now every pig for themselves, take as much as you can.
tpartynitwit commented:
A staff member filing routine paperwork under deadline making such a mistake is entirely plausible. I’ve dealt with similar “unbelievable in the ‘real world’” errors. That said, it’s an opening to beat her senseless about an alleged “disconnect,” so run with it Jim, run with it! By the way, the truck bed liner in Scott Brown’s “beater” is unscratched. Don’t pass the word, just admire the “barn coat” on a guy with no barn. Shamelessness will lead us to victory!! .

“In a rush to meet your deadline, we made an honest mistake,” Sullivan said. “And we misread a document…”
Maybe they thought it meant ‘after taxes’?
squeaky commented:
“School Assigns Children Reading About ‘Benefits’ of Sharia Law, Polygamy” it’s just those pesky negatives that they won’t discuss.

Isn’t that precious? She made just below the 200K threshold that Obama declares as “rich”.

So when will the $64,144 difference be seized by the government?
Would she complain?

Oh crap. I looked at the wrong set of numbers. The difference is even more.

Commie. She is not from Massachusetts. She is one of their betters, imported to Harvard, to tell them how, what and why. What road in Massachusetts did she pay for? Cambridge Commie. Let’s see her tax returns. Let’s see her property tax bill. Who is this Commie? Another Harvard mystery? The people of Massachusetts must realize that if they elect this Communist loon, the rest of the country will pay the price. And we will not forget.
saveus commented:
was she a math major?
tpartynitwit commented:
So many of you failed to notice the reporting error in question was not part of an IRS filing. There are endless requests for public officials’ financial data handled by staffers, some of whom are remarkably young. Innocent mistakes are made, though we have no reason to admit that. Just keep it in mind when the shoe’s inevitably on the other foot.

Anyone know where I can get a part time job at that pays 192K?
