Washington, D.C. is a town that runs on inside information - but should our elected officials be able to use that information to pad their own pockets? As Steve Kroft reports, members of Congress and their aides have regular access to powerful political intelligence, and many have made well-timed stock market trades in the very industries they regulate. For now, the practice is perfectly legal, but some say it's time for the law to change.

Three words sum this story up: CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Ending congressional insider trading better make its way to the top of whatever demands list that ultimately gets approved by this movement .
Yeah, that needs to end.
Oy... crimes within crimes. We should rename it the House of Criminals.
This is fairly recent news to OWS. I agree, it needs to be addressed at some point in the very near future.
And at the front of the pack, the uber leftist Nasty Nazi Pelosi, the same House Speaker that promised to "root out corruption."

How about the half million NO BID contract Obama just gave to his good friends at Siga-Andy Stern and Ron Perelman?
For a vaccine we already have. That costs $3 a dose. While Siga's untested version will cost $200+ per dose?
Great story. Just another case of the political establishment looking out for themselves and their donors. So anyone voting Republicrat this election?
I want to CLEAN HOUSE-White House, House of Congress, Senate House. ALL of them. Gone. With probationary periods for the next ones in. And the option to remove them upon a 3 month review without question.
