Recent comments in the Senate

Mr. President, I don't know if you saw, but a study last year found that Members of Congress traded more than $600 million in stock, including stocks connected to committees upon which Members sit. Members of Congress are playing the stock market, buying and selling shares in companies that Members of Congress directly regulate. Members of Congress have access to privileged and confidential and classified information. Members of Congress make decisions that send stock valuations up and down. And all the while, Members of Congress are playing the stock market.
