Are we a great country, or what?

Jesse Jackson Jr., a convicted felon, receivies $8,700 a MONTH in disability for his mood disorder.

Jackson Jr. and his wife Sandra plead guilty to the criminal charges of illegally using campaign funds for personal gain.

Sandra stole a mere $168,000 from the campaign fund, while her hubby pilfered a whopping $750,000.

Among the 3,100 personal lavishes that were financed with campaign funds between 2005 to April 2012, were fur capes and parkas purchased by Sandra for $5,150.

Jesse Jr used $9,587.64 of campaign funds to buy children’s furniture and another $43,350 for a gold-plated Rolex watch.

The couple used Campaign credit cards to purchase $582,772 worth of personal items, $60,857 for restaurants, lounges, nightclubs and gym memberships, $5,814 for alcohol and $14,513 for dry cleaning.

Additionally, his campaign fund paid Sandra’s consulting firm $5,000 a week during the entire time of his indiscretions. The consulting fees totaled up to over $340,000.
