This kind of debt likely means that he's for sale, which is not great when it comes to public officials

Any amount of debt and not a single one of us would be able to get security clearance in ANY government job, lol.

The people of West Virginia are going to send him to hold office with massive security implications to be sold to the highest bidder.

Stupid fucks.

"He's just like the rest of us dodging collection agencies. Who hasn't splurged on some luxuries instead of paying their debts?

"Are we really going to fault him because his debt has half a dozen more zeros than any of ours?
