This is why people despise politicians.
There is huge support left, right, and center to end insider trading in Congress—a true 80/20 issue.
A bill that had wide bipartisan support to end this was blocked from coming to a vote by the Speaker of the House.
Here is what the Speaker had previously said: "Let them engage in some stock trading so they can continue to, you know, take care of their family".
Those poor members of Congress only make $174,000 a year, along with incredible benefits, after all.
Then, the Speaker of the House pushed forward a weaker version of a bill to stop Congress from trading stocks but also included the nonsense about needing a passport or birth certificate to vote, just so that he could say Democrats voted against it.
He wasn't trying to solve a problem. He was creating a talking point for the midterm elections.
This is the crap people are tired of.
Instead of wasting time trying to create fake outrage, why don't politicians actually solve problems for once? Then, when it is election time, they can list all of their accomplishments instead of trying to create fear and outrage through tricks and lies.
Enough already.
Clean House. Vote them out. Fill it with new candidates. If they don't do their jobs, vote them out again and again until Washington gets the message that its job is to work for the people.

The Republicans' bottom line boils down to this:
They'll keep the federal government closed unless Democrats help Trump increase your health care premiums and kick millions off Medicaid.
It doesn't have to be like this, and it shouldn't.
