New York taxpayers just bailed out Rep. Charles Rangel, thanks to a deal in which the state covered at least $87,000 in unpaid rent for his district office:


Rangel paid $7,253 in monthly rent on the 125th Street office he has rented since 2000, expense reports from 2012 show. But the payments stopped for all of 2013.



Incredibly, instead of demanding payment of the back rent and late fees from its deadbeat legislative tenant, the state cut him a huge rent break.



The state comptroller approved a $101,000 lease between Rangel and OGS on Dec. 26, 2013, retroactively covering the period back to April 2013 and future months through December 2014, records show. The 21-month deal resulted in a deeply reduced rent of $4,809 a month.

When asked why the rent was not paid, Rangel’s office first claimed they had lost their lease, though I don’t see how that’s a valid excuse. They later blamed it on sequestration, which set spending limits for congressional offices. However, the sequester didn’t begin until two months after Rangel stopped paying his rent.

Furthermore, Rangel, who had an estimated net worth of between $566,000 and $1.2 million in 2010, has a history of shady real estate problems. In 2010, he was censured for dodging taxes on his Dominican Republic villa, and he also underwent an ethics probe for his campaign’s use of a Harlem apartment.

In other words, he doesn’t really sound like the type of guy that seems trustworthy enough to lead our country…

Rangle is another of OT's cultist heroes!

He didn't have anything to do with the "financial meltdown", yet he was a proven crook. OT, being the "barney", that he is, didn't even notice...

...he arrested the janitor, a guy that was there, but didn't even have access to the safe. He got his collar...100% success rate.

None of them are. Each of the 200 plus nuke plants in the U.S. pay ten million a year for a repository. This has gone on since the early 70's. There is no repository and there is no money for one. Do the math. Where did this money go? Where does it go? Hillary asked, "Where are we going to get the money.....?" Some years back. What did they do with it?

We have had D and R presidents since the 70's. The money entrusted to them, and required to be paid by the government, has been misappropriated. Just like SS

I have posted way too much tonight. Sorry folks. I usually just read.

Not much point in arguing with a given few. Their mind is all made up. Doesn't do much good to say I told you so. Seems a few are simply caught up in the rhetoric and now staying up with current issues.

Wouldn't it be nice if Obama had turned out to be a good president and they could all say, "I told you so?"

Even after all the hoopla and destruction of morals and character, the ruining of the American econonomy, the insults to soldiers and our military, they still support him. I wonder if they put their bare hands on a burner, would they take it off or would one of us have to pull their hand off for them? I certainly didn't do a dang bit of good to point out that the burner was hot, befgore they put their hand on it. Even if you tossed droplets of water on their thing for OT to see the steam, he'd want to debate. So why bother?

I don't wish anything evil for these people. It simply breaks my heart to see their support for our destruction. Ignorance is bliss.

BTW, Thanks for the compliment.

Think it is better to talk to folks eye to eye, and they can see the sincerity. I can more readily recognize sattire.

I am still around.
