I agree Judd, although I appreciate the transparency of the individual stock purchases by the members of congress you mentioned, buying and selling individual stocks while wielding significant influence over the industry is a cause for concern. Members should be restricted to index funds ,selling their individual stocks before taking office and prevented from purchasing individual stocks or serving on corporate boards while in office.

Another politician profiting through his own legislation? SHOCKING...not really. When are we going to make laws that prohibit this? Because as long as we don’t, it will continue to happen. A democracy cannot function properly when the elected officials are in it for personal profit and power building. I’m so disappointed that a democrat would play the same game as so many republicans (most notably, our former so called ‘leader’) did these last four years. Let’s get these kinds of politicians OUT OF OFFICE.
