No surprise that the investments of members of Congress regularly outperform the stock market. I was surprised that the portfolios of Democrats significantly outperformed those of Republicans.

A lot of the Democrat members of Congress are millionaires, yet they portray themselves as the party that represents the interests of the poor. When you follow the money you know who they represent.

Have a good day!

I could make a comment about IQ levels but I will be good! Smiley

I do think it needs to be looked into though there are just too many conflict of interest areas there and the potential for stock tips and manipulation in exchange for favors is just too great of a possibility.
