Citizen watchdogs eye Congress' 'killing it' approach to stock trading
A senator could vote for an infrastructure bill, then buy stock in concrete. Or they could sit on the Armed Services Committee and trade in defense contractors stock.
Lawmakers could vote for infrastructure bill, then buy stock in a concrete firm.
Could? You mean do?
They have it backwards too. They'll buy stock, then vote on the bill that'll raise stock prices (or vice versa with shorts)
Yeah were not getting any movement on this until people like Pelosi are far removed from any role in the democrat party. They're just gonna keep pointing and screaming at the big orange distraction because it's a lot easier than making peoples lives better.
When it comes to making people's lives better, Democrats did more last year alone then Republicans have in the last twenty years put together.
I agree with you. But it's important to still point out and want to fix problems even in the "better party." We can't simply be accepting of "be less bad." We need to always strive to improve. And weakening the connections between Wall Street and Washington is a big progressive goal that the old guard of Democrats have directly opposed.
Public service doesn't mean much in America.
Nothing happens in this country without someone getting paid.
