Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney's vice-presidential running mate, sold stock in US banks on the same day he attended a confidential meeting where top level officials disclosed the sector was heading for a deep crisis.

It doesn’t matter what they were questioning her about, give slightly different answers to the same question at different times and POOF you’re busted. It seems that income is no barrier to ignoring the fundamental rule of “never talk to authorities”...

"The men whom the people ought to choose to represent them are too busy to take the jobs. But the politician is waiting for it. He’s the pestilence of modern times. What we should try to do is make politics as local as possible. Keep the politicians near enough to kick them. The villagers who met under the village tree could also hang their politicians to the tree. It’s terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged today." ~G.K. Chesterton: Cleveland Press interview (March 1, 1921).

Insider trading is legal for DC politicians, from what I’ve read and heard. Morally, these people are disgusting.
