Okay, so the next time a Republican whines about the national debt, here’s one for ya.

BERLIN — Credit Suisse’s offices in Germany were searched Wednesday as part of an investigation into accusations that its employees might have helped clients evade taxes, prosecutors in Düsseldorf said.

And what does that have to do with Republicans.  Or, Texas Republicans in particular?

Well, it appears that Pistol Pete Sessions and the GOP Alamo PAC each took $5,000 from Credit Suisse, the very place that helped other rich Republicans avoid paying taxes.

So, that’s why we’re already buying them a handbasket and a map.

UPDATE:  By the way, I just found out that Pete Sessions has joined the Tea Party Caucus.  I suspect that’s because the Sleaze Ball Caucus was full.

So, Pete supports rich people not paying taxes by hiding money is Swiss bank accounts, but enjoying the benefits of roads, a military, the FDA, public education, and the National Weather Service.
