pacrat Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 It is perfectly legal to do insider trading and make millions per day in the process. IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE US CONGRESS. For everyone else in the country it is off to Club Fed with you. The thieves in DC don't like competition. Pukelosi is likely the worst of the bunch.

AzRednek Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Pukelosi is likely the worst of the bunch. Not according to what I heard on the news, she is second worse. On top was John Kerry. Keep in mind though these are only the deals recently made public. Likely just the tip of the ice berg. I am so glad our President is going to clean up all the corruption in Wash DC he promised to do. I wonder how big our President's blind trust has grown since he was elected.

Dr.Hess Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Don't worry, Az. He's also going to balance the budget and have the most open administration ever. He said so, and that's why the dumb f's voted for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 John Kerry, wouldn't ya know it. I hold that creature in sublime contempt. In fact, if I had to have him or Obama at 1600, I would vote and campaign for Mr.Obama. karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC Posted November 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Abramoff was on a local talk station. What he had to say about the profit from insider information from lobbying was astounding. One point was that politicians also profit because they know what laws are being worked on that will influence stocks before even the companies know about it. They (politicians and even their staffers) can beat insider traders to the punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
