Rep Walsh (http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/09/15/319467/judge-rebukes-deadbeat-dad-joe-walsh-for-missing-child-support-hearing-hes-no-different-than-anyone-else/) owes 117,000$ in child support. Interesting that he lawyer seemed surprised the judge wanted him in court.

Also, I don't think this has anything to do with party affiliation, just as easily could have been a D or I.

You mean like in the fucking article linked? Or did you deduce that when I said it just as easily could have been a D or I?

Realpolitik here. Why the fuck would any member of Congress not pay child support? Easiest thing to find out ever. Usable by either party.

Congress should obviously give themselves another pay raise so this man can deal with this issue.

How long a period of time does that $117k represent?

From the linked article in the first post: (http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/09/15/319467/judge-rebukes-deadbeat-dad-joe-walsh-for-missing-child-support-hearing-hes-no-different-than-anyone-else/)

Vega issued a “rule to show cause,” which requires Walsh to explain to the court why he shouldn’t be held in contempt for falling so far behind in child support over the past five years. The ruling means that the burden of proof is now on Walsh to prove he doesn’t owe money.

Laura Walsh has had to go back to court repeatedly since 2002 to get Walsh to honor his court-ordered child-support obligations.

20k a year in child support? Doesn't seem like much. What a fucking douche deadbeat dad.

I should be clear, 20k a year doesn't seem like much for a congressman. That said, it seems like the right amount to help pay for a child to me, clothes, food, school, etc... shit's expensive.
