This really doesn’t tell us if they are totally debt-free, but interesting nonetheless to see for which Senators, the paid off home mortgage has taken the place of the BMW (doubtful).这确实并没有告诉我们，如果他们是完全没有负债，但有趣的还是看到这些参议员，在付清房屋抵押贷款已采取地点宝马（怀疑） 。
Senators and members of Congress do not have to disclose anything about their home mortgages — not how much they borrowed, from whom they borrowed it or what interest rate they paid.参议员和国会议员没有透露任何关于他们的住房抵押贷款-没有多少钱借来的，从他们借来的，或者什么利息支付。
But amid allegations that Countrywide Financial Corp. offered special mortgage deals to two senators, it’s suddenly useful to know who has been lending money to the members of the greatest deliberative body in the world.但是，由于指控，全国金融公司提供的特别贷款协议，两位参议员，它突然有益知道是谁已经贷款的成员最大的审议机构，在世界上。
The Senate Ethics Committee has already launched an investigation into the preferential treatment afforded to the two senators in question, Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and Kent Conrad (DN.D.), and leading Republicans in the House have called for a wider investigation into whether other lawmakers received any discount rates on their mortgages.参议院道德委员会已经发起了一项调查，给予优惠待遇的两位参议员的问题时，克里斯多德（ D-Conn. ）和康拉德（ DN.D. ） ，并导致共和党在众议院还呼吁更广泛的调查是否有其他议员收到任何折扣率的贷款。
Although senators are not required to disclose information about their mortgages, Politico put the question to them.虽然参议院并不需要披露有关其抵押贷款，把政治问题给他们。 Earlier this week, Politico staffers called every Senate office and asked for the answers to three questions:本星期早些时候，政治工作人员要求每个参议院办公室和要求解答三个问题：
- Who is the senator’s home mortgage lender (or lenders, if the senator has more than one residence)?谁是本长达957页的住宅按揭贷款（或贷款，如果参议员有一个以上的居住） ？
- Whom did the senator contact to arrange the loan?谁参议员联系，以安排贷款？
- Did the senator receive any special terms?难道参议员收到任何特殊的条件？
This chart reflects the answers received as of Tuesday, June 24, 2008 at 6 PM EST.此图反映收到的答复星期二， 2008年6月24号在美国东部时间下午6点。 It will be updated as more arrive.这将是更新，更到达。
The early line: A substantial number of senators — being on average older and wealthier than the US population — don’t have mortgages at all. 早期行：相当多的参议员-目前的平均年龄较富裕的比美国人口-没有在所有抵押贷款。
[Check on your Senator here. Note: Lots failed or refused to comply with the information request. Shocking.] [请您在这里参议员。注：许多失败或拒绝遵守信息的要求。冲击。 ]
