At the other end of the financial spectrum, look how many debt-cutting zealots are deep into the hole themselves.

Among those with credit card debt was Rep. Blake Farenthold [[Tex.), who has pressed for major action to control the national debt. Earlier this year, Farenthold issued a statement rejecting any increase in the debt limit without major spending cuts.

“Like the rest of America,” the statement said, ‘the government needs to tighten its belt and work within its means.”

Farenthold’s 2010 disclosure forms show credit card debt of $45,000 to $150,000.
