[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm new to this thread, so I haven't read the whole thing. I came looking for a place to ask this. I saw a WSJ article comparing the finances of both VP candidates. It was just another thing about Walz that left me feeling uneasy. How is a man his age so completely incapable of taking care of his family and himself financially? And with that in mind, how could anybody feel good about him being next in line for the presidency (not that the president is actually running the country, as we now know). I ask this sincerely. I am an independent voter who almost always voted Republican until Trump. Sat out the last election. But cannot see myself voting for this Harris/Walz ticket either. I live in DC, so my vote doesn't matter either way. But of course, almost all my friends are Dems, so I don't talk politics outside the home. When others impose their feelings onto me, they seem just blindly to be so excited about Harris/Walz and I truly find it baffling. She just doesn't engender confidence. And believe me, I want a woman president![/quote]

So very, very concerned. [/quote]

Because Lincoln was as wealthy as Washington?
Because Jefferson lived lavishly but was the equivalent of $2 million in debt when he died?
Because Truman was a failed businessman who was broken when he left the WH?
Because the Carters were looking at possible bankruptcy?

Many presidents, especially in the last 100 years, came to the office as millionaires, others got rich AFTER the presidency. Obama, made a ton of money from book writing before being elected. 
This guy was a TEACHER, for god's sake. He wasn't a high priced lawyer, he didn't have wealth and connections like the Bush's. Ford was also from Nebraska, but he went to Yale. Walz went to a state college in western Nebraska.

Actually, I think what Walz especially brings to the ticket includes:
His years as a teacher and coach--he understands kids and understands how to educate people
His knowledge--related to his teaching--of the world and implications for world events, when so much of US foreign policy has led to disasters over the years because of people who don't know s*** about the countries they're dealing with.
