    Fun fact: Congresspeople can legally inside trade, but the rest of us cannot.

        I’d be fine if they were allowed to invest in things like mutual funds so that they could take advantage of the market without being able to do insider trading of a specific stock.

            Yep, and maybe that’s somewhat acceptable, but we could also confine it to diversified mutual funds meeting specific criteria.

            Edit: confine, not congratulations
