Just watched that piece on 60 minutes, that is a real eyeopener.
People need to immediately contact their congressman and DEMAND they cosponsor HB 1148, the STOCK act. E-mail them, write them, call them, and get your family, friends, and co-workers to do the same.
Agreed! Stop insider trading on Capital Hill! Contact you Senator and Congressional Representative and demand that the "STOCK Act" be passed.
This is outrageous. Never mind legislating a "Stock Act", why the hell aren't these politicians who participated in insider trading not being prosecuted for it. There was no problem prosecuting martha stewart and I think the politician's are even more guilty then she was. Insider trading in congress makes our country look ever more like the banana republic it really is. When is this insanity going to stop? Every day I wake up wondering, can it get any worse here in the US and the anwer is yes, yes, yes.
Debndan has a point. The actions in question here are insider trading in all eyes except but those of the law; the STOCK Act would change that.
because they wrote the laws to make it perfectly legal. The stock act would make it illegal.
Wow, I didn't know that. Now this feels really bad. Congress is so self interested that they're legislating to fill their own pockets.
