Speaker Pelosi Rejects The Idea Of Congressional Stock Trading Ban, Claiming “We’re A Free Market Economy”

House speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is worth $114 million and just 2 months ago was railing about how capitalism has “not served us well” and “needs improving” is all of a sudden a bold advocate for free market economics.

All it took was potentially taking away her (and her husband’s) stock trading privileges. Funny how that works, isn’t it?

“We are a free-market economy. They should be able to participate in that,” Pelosi said of the idea of barring members of Congress from trading individual stocks while in office.

“If people aren’t reporting, they should be,” Pelosi responded to Insider, who asked for comment after 49 members of Congress and 182 staffers had violated the STOCK Act that prevents insider trading.

    1. Congress has been FREE to do whatever it pleases by these Leftist Anti-Americans in there !!!
      This needs to Stop Now & the SCOTUS needs to put Congress on a LEASH !!!!

  1. Bob Aswell.....Realist

    I’m really in a fog. I’m pondering how Pelosi knows so much about finance? I’m certain NO ONE in DC has enough nerve to put their hand up her ass like they do Biden. The ONLY answer must be divination. First, We want to penalize the rich for being so. Second, We want to cause blood letting thru the IRS on all who maybe
    ‘tax cheats’ in the form of a witch hunt nation wide. Third, Now we want a ‘free’ market so the ‘big money’ politicians DON’T get caught, being they take more graft than any other group on Earth. Ask Mc Connells’ wife
    who invests in the foreign market to the tune of 3 Mill. If I had to put a tail on it, I’d say all the duds like her in Congress know if they pursue this course of action, ALL of our stockings will have a lump of coal instead of a LOAD of ‘walk around money’ in them come the Mid-terms.
    Back to Nancy, she barely has enough sense to find her way back to California, much less to know what’s right for the rest of this USA. Smart folks in November would ‘vote against’ ANYBODY there for more than 8 years and leave this old worn out gasbag to her own devices.
