No wonder they're deploying the bat squirrel.

Bernie had how much in deductions last year?

I had a mamogram done this week--and was in twits until I found out it was normal. Just a yearly one--I tend to get myself all twitted up. To many bad stories abound.

Based on what I see with Sanders supporters there is a lot of hero worship going on that is over the top. That never existed with Obama.

In 2001 their AGI was $15.9 million (In 2000 the AGI was $357,629) That ain't peanuts.

When you owe more in debts than the worth of your assets, you are "broke".

Simple enough for you?

IAC, I can't tell from the tax return what all their debts were.

To me, broke means penniless.

... "broke" means that what you owe exceeds what you own.

If that's not simple enough for you, I really don't know what else to say.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2014/jun/10/hillary-clinton/hillary-clinton-says-she-and-bill-were-dead-broke/

Our ruling

Hillary Clinton said she and Bill were in debt and dead broke when they left the White House. The public record shows that they possibly had more liabilities than assets, but it doesn’t show that conclusively. More important, a balance sheet does not tell the full story and the experts we reached said the Clintons’ earning potential had a real economic value that the financial sector traditionally acknowledges and is willing to bank on.

A few weeks before they left the White House, the Clintons were able to muster a cash down payment of $855,000 and secure a $1.995 million mortgage. This hardly fits the common meaning of "dead broke."

We rate the claim Mostly False.
