      I've been told that "insider trading" is not illegal for members of Congress.

      If true, it's certainly unethical, and it's certainly not unusual.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          I was unaware of that law.

            I thought most of these guys had it in a "blind" investment so they dont know exactly what they have, and what is sold and bought.

            If they dont, they should.

            As I say in the other thread - it never amazes me how out of touch politicians are.
