The answer, according to the group Progressive Accountability, is an even 10 homes, ranches, condos, and lofts, together worth a combined estimated $13,823,269.
It reminds me of Bush years ago when he couldn't remember the price of milk, or that there were scanners in grocery markets. How can people like that be in touch enough to promote policies that will benefit the average American?

This one is funny to me. My spouse owns property, stocks, etc. in her name, and I really don't know all she owns. Each year when the taxes are due it's "discovery time" for both of us. I guess that would make me a target for commitment papers or considered "out of touch" as well.
