#1 I found this interesting; Sen. Rick Scott Scott has traded $26.35 million in 2024 alone. Interestingly, his disclosures do not indicate that he has traded any individual stocks this year.

Instead, the Florida Senator who has an estimated net worth over $320 million, has bought and sold municipal bonds and securities in areas all over the country.

His net worth has not fluctuated much since he joined Congress in 2019.

He was wealthy before he was elected, and does not appear to have profited. Yet he is tarred with Pelosi.

#4 Illicitly timed individual stock trades, family members leveraging influence, mysterious Senatorial bi-partisan vote selling and campaign donation smurfing scam could be put together as an effective sieve to filter a lot of corrupt folks out of Capitol Hill positions.

#5 As Harry Truman (the last good Democrat president) said "You can't get rich in politics. Unless you're a crook".
