| Description | Tea party hero Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) wants to wipe out the nation’s debt, but he’s got some major personal debt that his ex-wife is demanding he take care of — $117,437 in child support, according to a lawsuit reported by the Chicago Sun-Times.
The suit charges that Walsh enjoyed foreign vacations with his new girlfriend while claiming he couldn’t pay support for his three kids because he was out of work.
Walsh, during a CNN interview Thursday, didn’t deny that he owes six figures in child support or explain why he hasn’t paid, but he said that his personal financial troubles mean he’s more attuned to struggling average Americans. |
