Congressional Credit Card Debt

Think your the only one with too much credit card debt? At times it may feel that way, but consider the following item about members of Congress and their personal spending habits:

In a recent survey of financial disclosure reports it was discovered that over 40 members of Congress were carrying at least $10,000 or more in credit card debt in 2003 and 2004.

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. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, listed five accounts with a total of $75,000 to $250,000 in debt. New York Democrat Gary Ackerman was third in the survey, listing "various credit cards" with a total balance of $50,000 to $100,000.

Below is a list of members and how much they owe:
