Did you know they changed the law back where they can do "insider trading?"

That's criminal! If you vote on a piece of legislation, there is no way you should be able to buy (or sell) that particular stock, or family of stocks. Nor should anyone in my immediate or extended family be able to trade those stocks. If a person in business did it, they would be subject to criminal prosecution.

Yup, they aren't subject to the laws that apply to the rest of us.**
