If you sign up for his Congressional Newsletter... do you get daily stock picks?

1. It's almost like they have access to secret information

that the rest of us won’t ever know about!

2. Members of congress and their immediate families should not be able to trade individual stocks

It does explain why congress people's net worth increases by quite a lot while they are in office.

3. Austin Scott is on the Armed Services Cmte...

I wonder if he made money off of DoD stocks?

Raytheon, Boeing, etc??

4. Probably...but, it is currently legal

and apparently, acceptable in congress.

And since it is mostly a crime that rich people do, there is little consequence for doing it where it is illegal.

Another reminder that laws don't really apply to rich people in anything approaching the way they do to the rest of us.

5. We all know that all members of our congress are smart and lucky...
