Subject: Re: New Speaker Has No Bank Accts
I'm guessing the Speaker is still using the bank account he co-opened with his mom back in 1982 when he was ten years old at Bayou Building and Loan. (eyeroll)

There is no legitimate explanation for a grown adult making $170,000 per year as a United States Representative to not have at least a checking account. If you serve in Congress, you have to fly. You presumably have to stay in a hotel once in a while when not staying at home or at an apartment in DC. You have to have a credit card to book a reservation for a plane, hotel or rental car. Sure, you can PAY in cash when you arrive at the counter, but no airline, hotel or rental car company will make a reservation without a credit card. I'm not sure how you can obtain a credit card without referencing a checking or savings account on the credit card application. How is he paying his monthly utility bills? By paying cash for gas to fill up the car to drive to the Winn-Dixie to pay his electric, water, sewer, gas, telephone and internet bills in cash?

No way.

Either he is dodging reporting requirements -- in which case, how does that pass first review when election officials are reviewing those forms? -- or he is a member of a very strange financial cult. Either way, this is not the sign of an adult that should be second in line to the Presidency.
