There has been comments made; regarding how did certain members of Congress get so rich, just off of their salaries.
Congress: Trading stock on inside information?
Steve Kroft reports that members of Congress can legally trade stock based on non-public information from Capitol Hill
Editor's Note: The report "Insiders" received quite a reaction the week after it aired. Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi's office called the report a "right-wing smear." While Republican Speaker John Boehner's office called his inclusion in the story "idiotic." But now, at least 93 members of Congress have signed on as cosponsors of the Stock Act, and for the first time the bill has been introduced in the Senate.
The bill was supported heavily by vulnerable incumbents and signed into law by President Obama.
Kind of like closing the barn door, after the horses have all run away.
