Lost in the Political Woods, episode 17 description

Why stock trading by members of Congress should

Bills on this issue are constantly due.

Members of Congress make important decisions

These decisions shouldn't be influenced by their stock portfolios

Eg defense and insurance companies

It's nothing less than insider trading

In Congress it's something you can get away with little consequences as well

If Martha Stewart can go to jail for insider trading, so can members of Congress

See you next week!
