Financial Leasing Services Inc. (FLS), owned by Paul F. Pelosi, has received $99,000 in rent, utilities and accounting fees...The payments have quadrupled since Mr. Pelosi took over as treasurer of his wife’s committee in 2007...”

This just underscores the fact that the politicians are in it to feather their own nests...to look after their own interests.
No politician comes out of politics poorer.
All of them, regardless of the flag they travel under, seem to have a sense of entitlement....they feel elevated above those who put them into the political arena.
It looks like it might be the same the whole world over....and if they think they can get away with it...then they will.
