And here's the deal.
I have had legislation pending for years now just to shut this down.
It's not even very fancy.
It just says, you're a member of Congress?
No.
No buying, no selling, no trading on any individual stocks.
You want to be in the stock market?
Fine.
Just get indexed funds so it's moving like everyone.
And announce what they are.
Make it all public.
That you don't get this constant, well, here's a place I could help myself.
We just knock that out.
And then we get to stand in front of the American public.
and say the one thing you can count on, we may get it right, we may get it wrong, but that nobody here is voting based on their financial interest.
Well, remember, the Stock Act, all it does is say tell.
It doesn't stop it.
And then the violation, as you say, just total slap on the wrist.
That's insulting to American voters.
Agreed.
