What recession? Members of Congress collectively made 16 percent more money in 2009 than 2008. And this week's PolitiQuizz asks you to delve into the personal finances of the nation's lawmakers.

Who is the single wealthiest member of Congress, and how much is he or she worth?
The first person to leave the correct answers in this blog post's comments section will win a free copy of The Blue Pages: Second Edition, the new money-in-politics book for which the Center for Responsive Politics provides data and analysis.

In last week's PolitiQuizz, we asked you to track down the biggest of big-spending political action committees this election cycle. We asked:
Which PAC contributed the most to political candidates during the 2010 election cycle?
From major players like AT&T and Democratic heavyweight ActBlue to Tea Party-funder Koch Industries, there was no shortage of reader suggestions. However, one PAC out-spent them all.
The answer is� Honeywell International.
Manufacturing titan Honeywell International's PAC doled out about $3.5 million in campaign contributions during the 2010 election cycle, while giving 55 percent of their funds to Democrats, according to the Center's analysis of federal filings. The company edged out PACs for AT&T, which gave $2.7 million, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which donated $2.6 million.

It’s been a l-o-n-g time since I remembered to do a monthly round-up here at Get Rich Slowly. (Since January, in fact.) I’d like to get back in the habit. I think this is a nice way to recap the best discussions from the past few weeks.
Before I start, though, I have to confess a minor stupidity. Earlier this week, I was trying to re-label everything in my gmail inbox to “TEMP”, which would allow me to at least feel like I’d achieved Inbox Zero. Well, somehow I managed to archive all of that mail instead. I know that I can still read it in gmail’s “All Mail” folder. That’s great. But it doesn’t help me actually find which messages I accidentally archived. So, if you’ve sent me e-mail recently and need a reply, I’m afraid you’ll have to re-send it. I apologize. Even computer geeks make technology mistakes sometimes.
Now, let’s take a look at some of the best GRS articles from November:
- November 4th: How to save: Putting “pay yourself first” into practice (by J.D.)
- November 10th: Make more money: How to supercharge your income (by J.D.)
- November 17th: Using the web to minimize distractions (by April)
- November 22nd: Fantasy vs. reality: Paving a path to a promising future (by J.D.)
