She picked Tim

For a very long time, they were a dual income teacher/teacher household. You know how much money they make. For a long time, they tried IVF to have children. You know how much that costs. He has put money into his children’s 529 plan. They had a house that they sold when he moved into the governor’s mansion. Until his decision to run for office, the Walz family had a perfectly middle class life.

What he has not done, is to enrich himself while in office. This is not a failure, it’s a good thing. He didn’t sell himself out and make himself beholden to special interests, which means that he could actually work on behalf of his constituents without external pressures. I think we have became so used to corruption in politics that when we see someone who is not, it seems like a bad thing.

He actually has 5 pensions. You’re not counting his pension as current gov, which will allegedly be $60,000 a year.

Exactly. Beating themselves up trying to find something, anything to take down Walz. Focus on the two parasites who own you.

I tried to figure it out, I think with a single term probably half of that. But

What he has not done, is to enrich himself while in office.

No, but it is suggestive that he may not be capable of being a president, if he has almost no assets at age 60. Someone who is not capable of managing their own finances well, is unlikely to be an effective or competent vice president. I am very concerned about this detail as it reflects poorly on his judgement and mental abilities. We need people that are vice president to be very accomplished and much more capable than the average person. Some random guy off the street with no assets and minimal career accomplishments clearly does not have the work-ethic or mental ability required to be vice president.

Yes, it is ridiculous how bad his finances are given that he is running for VP. That says one of two things. 1) He consistently makes poor financial decisions or 2)He is not very capable and did not have a successful career. Both of these explanations should be disqualifying for someone that is a heart beat away from the presidency.

You guys have just gotten boring. How long do you think this attack will last before it fizzles out? 12 hours? A full day?

I am actually going to vote for Harris, because I think trump is worse, but he is clearly not someone exceptional that is capable of being a good vice president. Just pointing this out. Walz clearly has very poor decision making skills or he would be in a better place financially right now

Why? How much money should he have given his career path?

He was a congressman for 12 years and governor for 5 years and he has basically nothing in his retirement savings or assets? He has earned around 2 million in income since 2007 not including his wife's job and has very little to show for it. It just does not make sense and suggest very poor judgment.

Let's do some math?

2 million over 17 years is about 120,000 per year.
After taxes/FICA, let's say his take home is 75% of gross, or 90K per year
He has 2x 529 plans for his children
He had a mortgage until he was governor
He probably had housing he needed to pay for, in DC while he was a congressman
He probably contributed to his pension plans

Just exactly how much money do you think they should have saved with a take home of 90K a year, and two kids to educate, one of whom is special needs?

His wife has a job too. He could have slept in his office like many of the other representatives. Just bad money decisions all around.

You're not answering the question. Let's add her salary too.

How much money do you think someone whose gross take home pay is $135K, who has two kids to educate, one of whom is special needs, be saving? How much money does a family of 4 need to live on?[/quote

The answer is enough to provide security for his family. Which it does not appear he has. He is nearing retirement age. The only job security he has at this point is as an elected official. Seriously, who puts their family into this kind of precarious situation. I understand that it's quite common across America. But it shows poor choices for someone running for VP.

This is such a pathetic nothingburger. Take the L. You got nothin'. As my governor, he's done a fantastic job and was overwhelmingly reelected. You are clearly ignorant on government and military pensions - the Walz family will be just fine.

Tim talks too much for a Vp candidate. So does Vance

I get a Howard Dean vibe from Tim. I can see him getting carried away with excitement with this newfound fame. All we need is one large scream/roar or meow

His congressional pension alone is like 100K. The one for the governor is another 40 K. Let’s say two teacher pensions and his military pension totals 60 K. 200 K per year is more than adequate for most people to retire on.

Every time Trumpies try to criticize Walz, they end up stepping on a rake because they’re either making stuff up or their guy is much, much worse on the issue.

Yeah- that's the equivalent of $5M in a balanced portfolio. PP making all the noise about this can't do basic finance math- total idiot.

Still 5. And if he leaves gov, he’ll have 6 as VP? No clue what pension a VP gets, or does it just bump his congress pension?
