This was reported over the weekend, but I didn’t want any of my readers to have missed it, so I’m posting it here tonight. John McCain, his zillionaire wife, and a “dependent child” of theirs (what?) owe *at least* $250,000 dollars in credit card debt, according to the Senate personal finance report he just filed.

Talk about fiscal responsibility. Way to stimulate that economy!

It’s not as though they’re going bankrupt — they have millions in Budweiser cash — but I still think it’s funny. And according to this graph I just found on Google, credit card debt tends to increase with age, so maybe that’s the issue (thanks, I’ll be here all week.)

Credit Card Debt by Age

Barack Obama, by contrast, has no debt and he and his wife have put away over $200,000 dollars for the college education of their two young daughters.
