President Biden will 'let members of Congress' decide whether they should be allowed to trade stocks, amid scrutiny of lawmakers’ financial trades, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday.

Lawmakers' spouses are currently allowed to trade in companies or industries that their partner may help regulate. But under the STOCK Act, which was passed in 2012, members of Congress and their families are forbidden to profit from inside information, and lawmakers are also required to report stock trades to Congress within 45 days.

The push to ban Congress from trading stock has been met with bipartisan support in both chambers. Similar legislation has been introduced in the House of Representatives.

This is so fucked up

So let me get this right… Insider trading is highly illegal. If I were to do it, I would be put in prison for years. Yet, our “president” basically gives congress permission to do so..? POTUS, you deserve to spend the rest of your life in prison with them.

Well, we allow them to get away with it so no one can actually complain.

Sounds like a good deal if taxpayers can decide how much we should pay in federal income tax.

Criminal behavior always goes free

Oh sure let crooks decide, that's the same policy being used on street crime in NYC. impeachBrandon

I can’t believe it is 2022 and this is being debated, this should have been stopped 100 years ago. It’s absurd that they can vote upon this themselves as with there own pay raise and not to vax, I’m sure among many other things in there favor. Stop this BS

Why don’t we let murderers stack their own jury while we’re at it. DrainTheSwamp

Gee I wonder what they will decide..

Here’s a better idea. Let us decide!!!

But the American voter does not get to decide how to manage its own health choices and education? What a joke of a president

Do you think the fox is guarding the hen house here?

That’s why they want to be politicians. To get rich.

Kinda a Fox and hen house kinda a deal

Let inmates decide if they should remain in jail. This makes a lot of sense. (insert sarcasm emoji here).

BananaRepublic The whole system is fucked up

Alzheimers is a terrible disease and seriously affects cognition and cognitive function.

He has to. Pelosi will have his head if he doesn't. That's how she and her husband make money; Insider trading.

The fox is loose in the hen house God forbid Biden did it again another f up can never take back

Isn't that like letting the fox decide if they have access to the chickens in the coop?

That’s like letting death row inmates decide whether or not they should be put to death. Makes total sense?!?

Unreal! The corruption is from the top to the bottom, most have known that, but now the most of the world knows it. Just sad.

POTUS losing votes left and right. We got another one term germ.

I don’t miss Trump, and I won’t miss you.

Criminals

Trading on insider information deals!

How precious

What a 'maroon', as Bugs Bunny would say!

Such a joke
