VERY TRUE. I'm still trying to figure out how a congress person who makes about $180,000 a year can retire after 20 years with $25 million in the bank when their total salary for 20 years was only $3.6 Million?????

Tips.

They all use the Pelosi Investment plan. The elected official provides the info, the close family member makes the investments, and the cash goes into shared accounts.

Ban all of Congress and their immediate family members from being able to buy or sell individual stocks.

Require President & VP, as well as every member of Congress undergo a forensic audit of all assets prior to every re-election and upon retirement and make the results public.

Release all of the names, and the amount of money paid from the taxpayer funded slush fund used to pay off and settle sexual harassment and other such suits against members of Congress.

Shine a bright light and the cockroaches will scatter.

All of that is true. However, in order for to "Ban", "Require", "Release" or "Shine", it is Congress itself that would have to propose, promote and pass a law. Not likely!
