How on earth was this allowed to begin with? This is the equivalent to letting referees bet on the games they officiate. How in the hell does JPOW trade during a blackout period and nothing happen. It seems like politicians have discovered that they can make millions of dollars while in office and not worry about the public service. They can delay laws that would impede their own personal financial gains. Politics is a PUBLIC SERVICE job, not a personal fortune machine. How did Martha Stuart go to jail for insider trading and all of our politicians are allowed to do it all the time??? The penalty also needs to be 0 of gains, realized or not. The utterly pathetic $200 fine they get is completely unacceptable. The \"greatest country on earth\" needs to be built on a better foundation than that. Seems like the laws are for \"us\" and not for \"them\". Time to change that.
