Rep. Bobby Scott! An interesting item from The Hill newspaper covering Congress notes that 40 members of Congress carry at least $10,000 worth of credit card debt — at a time the House is considering a measure that would give banks and credit card companies expanded powers to seek repayment from debtors who file bankruptcy.
Reports The Hill: “The lawmaker reporting the highest credit-card debt was Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), who noted that in 2003 he had between $80,000 and $175,000 spread across seven credit cards.”
