This show makes me laugh but also depressed the more I learn. There is no end to the corruption. Get me off this planet.

Congress should be paid the average salary in the state they are living in.. that way they can feel what we feel..

I'm impressed at Ossoff for already putting this out as a freshman senator. Trading stocks as a member of congress isn't "participating in the free market" when you have all the insider information. It's legalized corruption. Pelosi joins people like Dan Crenshaw on being really bad with this issue.

So pleased with Ossoff. Congress should totally be banned from the markets.

All stocks owned by members of congress should be liquidated and the funds used for stimulus. Reprehensible behavior by our ‘leaders’. I still say that members of the federal government should be required to subsist on minimum wage (only payable for days actually worked).

"Put their stocks into a blind trust or pay a fine of their entire salaries." Let's see here. Blind trust, or pay a measely $200,000 and make MILLIONS off of insider trading that they will NEVER be prosecuted for? Such a tough choice...

The *ONLY* way these laws are going to change, is IF *WE THE PEOPLE* demand it. The reason these politicians get away with it, is because voters are quiet on the matter. EACH voter needs to make a call to their representatives; and also let Pelosi have it.

No real need for “term limits”. Remove the life-time pension, life-time government healthcare, the ability to trade stocks while in office. They won’t stay long.
