First thing - I love how on the "why does this matter" page, they encourage people to contact their representatives in the government if they want to find out more about their personal finances. Will the representatives really agree to reveal more things? Do they think it's a violation of privacy?
The people's assets, liabilities, and such are really shocking to me as well - not because of the numbers but because of the detail. Not only do they list the organization, they also list the value of each.
At first, I was surprised at the difference of net worth for Bob Casey (HERE) and Mike McIntyre (HERE), but then I looked and was reminded of the fact that Casey is a Senator and McIntyre is a member of the House. I wonder, is the difference between the two really that much? I figured that yes, it was... Since things are more "diluted" (forgot where I heard this term for things in the House).
