| We need to think of a way to get rid of Congress. The congressmen and women are not subject to our laws . They can do as they please and are payed highly for that privilege. Who needs them? Not I. 60 minutes was a real eye opener last night. |

| I missed 60 minutes - can you give a 1 0 line summary? I know NPR was talking about congressmen being able to invest in the stock market using insider info - a crime for anyone else. |

| DK, That is so right. We were never allowed to do such a thing. Before we were able to buy or sell stock, we had to gain permission. We'd have been in jail if we had traded as they do. Shame, shame and more shame on them. They should be booed everywhere they go. |

| When they have the capacity to make money on the stock market through insider information, every decision they make is suspect. Their decisions impact the stock market. |

| Insider trading is illegal. If what you say about congressmen/women is true, then they are breaking the law and should lose their jobs.
I suspect the insider information is given to the congressmen/women expecting some benefit. Buying favors appears to be an accepted practice. |

| Insider trading is illegal for us, but a perk for them. They are suspect alright. They are miserable reps of us. They are for themselves. |
