New York Members of Congress who own stocks might face ethical dilemmas when they shape laws that could hurt -- or help -- their portfolios. Just ask Georgia Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.

Recent scrutiny has forced the issue of congressional stock trading into the limelight.The potential conflict of interest is blatantly obvious. Lawmakers should focus on the most efficient legislation and not what might best serve their financial interests. Sure, some laws achieve both, but voters shouldn't have to worry if their Washington representatives' stock portfolios would benefit from, or influence directly, their decisions as lawmakers.

💥Now do 'Warnock' who wants to open the 'jails' Wants to' defund' the ' police'! He's 'radical' Loves the 'racist Farrakhan'!! He's a disaster!!😝

Crime family Biden making billions from China !!!

Where is the LAW AND ORDER ? Lock them up ?
